Other comments: The Ghomara Berber numeral system is basically Arabic except for the numeral ‘one’ which has variation. The Ghomara are a group of tribes in northern Morocco, who total around 10,000 people, living between the rivers Oued Laou and Ouringa, east of Chefchaouen and south of Tetouan, in the Western Rif. The river Tiguisas runs through their territory. Originally, Ghomaras were a Berber tribal group belonging to the Masmuda confederacy. While most have shifted to speaking Arabic, a minority continue to speak the Berber Ghomara language. |
