The Shilha people or Shluh are an Amazigh ethnic group in Morocco.The self-name is Išlḥiyn, in French literature they usually are referred to as les Chleuhs. They live mainly in Morocco's Atlas Mountains and Souss Valley. The speak the Tashelhiyt language, which has around 4 million speakers (2004 census). The indigenous peoples of the central Moroccan coast, noted by the early Phoenician explorers, would have been the Chleuh. The first millennium voyages of Hanno described the Phoenicians' methods of peacefully trading with the native peoples of the Mogador area. The Shilha are associated with Amazigh music and dance.
The majority (98% ) of modern Tunisians are Arabized Amazigh or Arab-Amazigh, and are speakers of Tunisian Arabic. However, there is also a small (1 percent at most) of pure native Amazigh located mainly in the Jabal Dahar mountains in the South East and on the island of Jerba. The Amazigh primarily speak Amazigh languages, often called Shilha or Tashlihit, or have shifted to Tunisian Arabic.

A Year in Language, Day 252: Shilha Shilha is a Berber language spoken in Morocco by about 7 million people. Shilha exists on a continuum with Tamazight, Morocco's more prominent Berber group, though both the Shilha people and language have a unique identity. The Shilha word for the language can be based on ethnicity or geography, which is to say "Tacelhiyt" (lit. language of the Shilha) or "Tasusiyt" (lit. language of the Sous river). Shilha has only 3 vowels, /i/, /a/, and /u/, though each of these has a number of variant allophones in practice. Like many Afro-Asiatic languages Shilha has a system of vowel modulation based on stress. The basic overview of this is that syllables moved to unstressed locations (by some mechanic of inflection) are "softened" or deleted outright. Shilha's take on this is particularly robust and has resulted in impressive consonant clusters and even vowel-less words.
The Shilha people, commonly known as the Chleuh are an Imazighen ethnic group. They live mainly in Morocco's Atlas Mountains and Souss Valley. x.
One Moroccan Amazigh/Berber Secret Language: the “sīn” Variety - Nasser Berjaoui Ibn Tofail University This book (which is one among a series of future works on Moroccan Amazigh/Berber “secret languages”) is the first research project, to the best of our knowledge, that studies and provides a detailed description and analysis of one Amazigh/Berber “secret language” of the south-east of Morocco. The present book contains ten chapters. These respectively propose the following: general backgrounds, the basic encoding procedures of individual words in the “secret language”, the secretizing of various speech parts, the manipulation of miscellaneous verbal forms, the changing of defined nouns, the distortion of multi-consonantal short speech parts, the encrypting of miscellaneous one-segmental words, the converting of syntactic structures, the manipulation of semantic aspects of the Tamazight, and the delivery rates of the messages in the “secret language”. Last, but not least, the study provides a detailed presentation of all the rules that govern the “secret language” in question. This language is called the “sin” variety, since it makes use of this consonant (the “s” consonant) in the secretization operations. ISBN 9783862884711. LINCOM Studies in Afroasiatic Linguistics 35. 204pp. 2013.
This is definitely not the first research project on the secret language within Tashelhit, spoken primarily by and for Shilha women, but it is one of the first major publications dedicated solely to this subject which has previously just been a sort of footnote to larger ethnographies (by Gellner, Hart, and even Geertz among others). Here's an example of another. Some of my own ethnographic research in southern Morocco was beginning to gravitate towards this as part of a reflection on the status and role of women in Shilha communities, but (sadly?) I gravitated away from a lot of my ethnographic work and more towards Arabic linguistics.
I'm excited to read this, though, as part of a larger series of works on this subject.
