Tugurt, also known as Oued Righ Berber and Temacine Tamazight, is a Zenati Berber variety spoken in some of the oases of the Oued Righ region around Touggourt in Algeria. As of 1893, it was spoken in Temacine, Blidet-Amor, Meggarine and Ghomra.[1] The only published study of it is Basset (1893).[1] It is closely related to nearby Tumzabt and Teggargrent.
