Other comments: Nefusa or Nafusi is spoken in Fassato, Nefusa mountains, Libya. Material is taken from Beguinot, F. 1942. Il berbero Nefûsi di Fassâo. Grammatica. Testi raccolti dalla viva voce. Vocabolarietti. Roma.

Transcriptions have been given in the original transcription. And IPA approximations have been added. The IPA approximations are based on rather limited experience with recordings online. All numerals except for 1 and 2 are of Arabic origin.

Nafusi (also spelt Nefusi) is a Berber language spoken by approximately 140,00 speakers in the Nafusa Mountains (Drar n infusen), a large area in northwestern Libya. Its primary speakers are the Ibadite communities around Jadu, Nalut (Lalut) and Yafran.
