imraguen language

The Imraguen language is allegedly spoken by the tiny (thousand-strong) Imraguen fishing tribe of the Banc d'Arguin National Park on the Atlantic coast of Mauritania. According to Gerteiny (1967), it is "a strange version of Hassaniyya restructured on an Azr base." The Ethnologue's description of their language appears to be based solely on this source, although they have now rejected his claim that the Nemadi had a separate Nemadi language. According to Fortier, "they speak the same language, Hassaniyya." The name "Imraguen" itself is a Berber word meaning "fishermen".
