The aim is also to record the female speech in order to understand which are the differences between their speech and the men's one, who usually use Arabic and English, losing some of the characteristics of the Siwi language. The Siwi language (Code ISO 639-3:siz) is spoken by 25 thousand people, almost all of them are bilingual (Siwi-Arabic). Afro-Asiatic , Eastern Berber subgroup.
