Nafusi (also spelled Nefusi, Berber name: ''Maziɣ'' or ''Tanfusit'') is the Berber language of the Nafusa Mountains (''Drar n infusen''), a large area in northwestern Libya. This variety of the Berber language is spoken by the Ibadite communities around Jadu, Nalut (''Lalut''), and Yafran. The dialect of Yefren in the east differs somewhat from that of Nalut and Jadu in the west.〔Beguinot 1931:VIII〕 A number of Old Nafusi phrases appear in Ibadite manuscripts as early as the 12th century,〔Tadeusz Lewicki, "De quelques textes inédits en vieux berbère provenant d'une chronique ibāḍite anonyme" and André Basset, "Note additionnelle", ''Revue des études islamiques'' VIII, 1934, pp. 277, 298〕 representing some of the earliest manuscript records of Berber. The ''Ethnologue'' entry includes nearby Zuara Berber, Matmata Berber, and Djerbi under the rubric "Nafusi", which corresponds neither to local nor to academic usage of the term. The dialect of Jadu is described in some detail in Beguinot (1931).〔Francesco Beguinot, ''Il berbero nefûsi di Fassâṭo: grammatica, testi raccolti dalla viva voce, vocabolarietti''. Roma: Istituto per l'Oriente 1931〕 Motylinski (1898) describes the dialect of Jadu and Nalut as spoken by a student from Yefren.〔p. 1, A. de Calassanti-Motylinski, ''Le Djebel Nefousa: transcription, traduction française et notes, avec une étude grammaticale'', Paris: Ernest Leroux, 1898.〕 Nafusi shares several innovations with the Zenati languages, but, unlike them, maintains prefix vowels before open syllables; for example, ''ufəs'' "hand" < *''afus'', rather than Zenati ''fus''; it appears especially closely related to Sokni and Siwi to its east.〔Maarten Kossmann, 1999, ''Essai sur la phonologie du proto-berbère'', Köln: Rüdiger Köppe, pp. 29-33〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nafusi language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
