Shenwa Language
Shenwa, also spelled Chenoua (autonym HaqbaylitÌ ), is the Berber language of Jebel Chenoua in Algeria, just west of Algiers in the provinces of Tipasa (incl Cherchell) and Chlef. The speech of Jebel Chenoua proper is mutually comprehensible with that of the nearby Beni Menacer, and the two are thus treated as a single language. According to the Ethnologue (2009), Shenwa has 76,300 speakers.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
