Matmata Berber is a Zenati Berber dialect spoken around the town of Matmâta in southern Tunisia, and in the villages of Taoujjout, Tamezret and Zrawa. According to Ben Mamou's lexicon, its speakers call it Tmaziɣṯ, or Eddwi nna "our speech", while it is called Shelha or Jbali (جبالي) in local Tunisian Arabic dialects. The total population speaking this variety was estimated at 3,726 in 1975. Ethnologue treats it as part of the Nafusi dialect spoken in northwestern Libya, although the two belong to different subgroups of Berber according to Kossmann (1999).
