dialects and transcriptions of the Tuareg script, in addition numerous related terms from the most important contact languages: Arabic, Hassaniya, Hausa and Songhay.
Apart from general vocabulary the themes emphasised include the definition of plants and animals, materials and foodstuffs, ornaments and equipment. Apart from terms from trade and economic life, the calendar,

orientation and the names of the stars, the dictionary lists especially terms from traditional medicine and remedies. Systematic source references and bibliographical detail round off this comprehensive linguistic documentation.
The dictionary, for the printing of which the Jutta Vogel Foundation has given financial support, is intended equally for academics – ethnographers, Berberologists and Africa scholars –
