East Zenati is a proposed subgroup of the Zenati languages of Tunisia and Libya.
Ethnologue 16 includes the following three languages:
- Ghadames
- Nafusi (in the Nafusa Mountains)
- Sened (extinct)
Kossman (1999) considers Ghadames and Nafusi to lie in separate branches of Berber; they are frequently grouped together as Eastern Berber.
Blench (2006) excludes Ghadames. He considers East Zanati to be a dialect cluster, consisting of the following varieties:
- Tmagurt & Sened
- Jerba (Djerbi)
- Tamezret & Taujjut (Matmata)
- Nafusi
- Zuwara
