Siwi Language

Recent discoveries have found that the Siwi language, unlike most other Berber languages, have two phonemic mid vowels in their inherited vocabulary, including e and o. In every other environment the contrast between i and e has been neutralized.^[1]

Although the native language Siwa is a Berber dialect, it is not closely related to any other Berber language at all. ^[2]

Location and Culture

The oasis of Siwa is in the Libyan desert. Sita speakers come from Libya and Egypt. The majority of Siwanis learn to speak Arabic as a second language. The dialect is closest to Bedouin Arabic, and is sometimes considered a different dialect of Arabic.
