Tamasheq is a variety of the Tuareg languages. It is spoken by the Tuareg people, principally in the Timbuktu area. There are two divergent dialects: Timbuktu (Tombouctou, Tanaslamt) and Tadghaq (Kidal) in Mali.
Tamasheq as spoken in northeastern Burkina Faso is similar.[3]
The name Tamasheq is sometimes applied to the Tuareg languages in general.
