Fezzan
Fezzan (, (アラビア語:فزان) ''Fizzān'', (トルコ語:Fizan), (ラテン語:Phasania)) or Phazania is the southwestern region of modern Libya. It is largely desert, but broken by mountains, uplands, and dry river valleys (wadis) in the north, where oases enable ancient towns and villages to survive deep in the otherwise inhospitable Sahara Desert. The term originally applied to the land beyond the coastal strip of Africa proconsularis, including the Nafusa and extending west of modern Libya over Ouargla and Illizi. As these Berber areas came to be associated with the regions of Tripoli, Cirta or Algiers, the name was increasingly applied to the arid areas south of Tripolitania.
==Name==
In Tamazight (Berber language), ''Fezzan'' (or ''ifezzan'') means "rough rocks".〔The Arabic Amazigh dictionary / 3 volumes/ published by the Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco. (Dictionnaire bilingue arabe-amazigh, tome 1 (1990), tome 2 (1996), tome 3 (1999), Publications de l'Académie marocaine.)〕
''Fezzan'' could also be a derivation from the region's Latin name ''Phasania'' or ''Phazania'', which may mean "the country of the pheasants"〔(Présence africaine ). Editions du Seuil, 1975; p. 477.〕 or be related to the Biblical name Phut.〔(Comptes rendus sténographiques ... ) Imprimerie Nationale, 1881; pp. 864-865 (fn. 1). (In French)〕
