Siwi language : ウィキペディア英語版 | Siwa language
The Siwa (Sioua) language, ''Siwi'', also known as ''Oasis Berber'' or ambiguously as ''Zenati'', is a Berber language of Egypt, spoken by 15,000 to 20,000 people〔''Grammatical Contact in the Sahara: Arabic, Berber, and Songhay in Tabelbala and Siwa'', Lameen Souag, PhD thesis, SOAS, 2010〕〔 in the oases of Siwa and Gara, near the Libyan border. The language has been heavily influenced by Egyptian Arabic,〔Werner Vycichl. 2005. "Jlân n Isîwan: Sketch of the Berber Language of the Oasis of Siwa (Egypt)," ''Berberstudien & A Sketch of Siwi Berber (Egypt).'' Ed. Dymitr Ibriszimow & Maarten Kossmann. Berber Studies, vol. 10. Cologne: Rüdiger Köppe Verlag. ISBN 3-89645-389-0〕 and it is not closely related to the other Berber languages.〔 Its use by the ethnic Siwi population is in decline, as most have shifted to Arabic as their primary language.〔Dimmendaal, Gerrit, and Erhard Voeltz. 2007. "Africa". In Christopher Moseley, ed., Encyclopedia of the world's endangered languages.〕 Some native adult Siwis express a certain distaste for the language, believing it would be better for their children's educational prospects if they spoke Arabic from the start.〔 Overall, the majority of the native population views the language in a positive light〔 and nearly all learn to speak Arabic as a second language from an early age.〔 ==Classification== ''Ethnologue''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Siwi )〕 places Siwi in an Eastern Berber group with the Awjila–Sokna languages of central and eastern Libya. Kossmann (1999)〔Kossmann, Maarten. 1999. Essai sur la phonologie du proto-berbère. Köln: Köppe.〕 links it with Sokna and the Nafusi dialect cluster of western Libya and Tunisia, but not with Awjila. The "Endangered Languages Project"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Endangered Languages Project - Siwi )〕 classifies the Siwa language as vulnerable to extinction, listing a 20% certainty based on compiled evidence〔Brenzinger Matthias. 2007. "Language Endangerment in Northern Africa." Matthias Brenzinger- Mouton de Gruyter. Ch.6: 123-139〕〔Moseley, Christopher. 2010. "Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger." Christopher Moseley (edt.) 3rd edn.〕
