Résumé

Ghardaïa, situated in the centre of Saharan Algeria, is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture tracing back to its establishment by the puritanical Ibāḍiyyah sect in the 11th century CE. The city has been home to a Jewish community for centuries, although its exact origins remain debated. Evidence suggests migrations from Djerba, Marrakesh, and Tafilalt shaping a unique Jewish dialect that reflects ties to both Tunisia and Morocco. This paper presents a preliminary linguistic analysis of the Jewish dialect of Ghardaïa, shedding light on its historical layers and socio-linguistic dynamics. Through comparative analysis with neighbouring Muslim dialects, Jewish Djerba, and Jewish Marrakesh, it unravels the complexities of this distinct linguistic heritage, providing insights into its origins and evolution. Additionally, it delves into the nuanced variations between male and female lects within the Jewish community of Ghardaïa, elucidating socio-phonetic features that contribute to the rich diversity of the dialect.
