The Mzab–Wargla languages or Northern Saharan oasis dialects are a dialect cluster of the Zenati languages, within the Northern Berber subbranch. They are spoken in scattered oases of Algeria and Morocco.
Subclassification
;Kossmann (2013)
Maarten Kossmann (2013) listed six "Northern Saharan oasis" dialects:
- South Oranie and Figuig
- Gurara
- Tuwat-Tidikelt
- Mzab
- Wargla
- Wad Righ (Tugurt)
;Ethnologue (2009)
In Ethnologue XVI (2009), the "Mzab–Wargla" languages are listed as:
- Tagargrent (Wargli)
- Temacine Tamazight (Tugurt)
- Taznatit ("Zenati": Gurara, Tuwat and South Oran)
- Tumzabt (Mozabite)
Unlike Kossmann, Ethnologue considers the Berber dialect spoken in Tidikelt as a separate branch of the Zenati group, distinct from Tuwat.
;Blench
Roger Blench (2006) listed eight varieties:
- Gurara
- Mzab, Ghardaia (Mozabite)
- Wargla
- Tugurt
- Seghrušen
- Figuig
- Senhaja
- Iznacen
However, Senhaja is actually an Atlas language.
