The Central Atlas Tamazight language, which encompasses various dialects from the Atlas region. It's widely understood by Atlasians across the region, from north to south. The dialects include those of the Znati people in the north, like Saghruchni and Warayni, and those of the Znagi people in the middle and south, such as Asamri, Zayani, Azmuri, Mlali, and Zilali. Central Atlas Tamazight is comprehensible to Riffians in northern Morocco and Chleuhs in southern Morocco. In 2011, it became standardized alongside Shilha and Riffian as part of Standard Moroccan Amazigh. The language is spoken by 4-6 million people, primarily in Morocco, though there are Atlas minorities in western Algeria.
Tahidoost, also known as "Nawada," is a rhythmic pattern featuring alternating heavy and light beats, starting and ending with the presenter's call of "Ha Wa Ahawa." In Ahidous performances, the bendir (tambourine), called "alun" in Amazigh, is essential. It has a circular wooden frame covered with goat skin and strings made from horsehair or animal intestines. Al-Razza, or "Thashdat" in Amazigh, represents dignity and respect. Taberbaşt are colorful Atlas shoes with silver weights, giving them a glossy look. Abaqas are regional garments similar to the Atlantic shamar, made of wool and silk with shiny mosaics, typically worn at Ahidous dances and weddings. Afkas is a traditional silk belt worn above the waist. In the Middle Atlas, burnouses are woolen cloaks worn over djellabas; heavier ones in winter and lighter ones in summer. Atlantic men may wear two white burnouses or a combination of white and black.
