The Tachelhit Tribes are very numerous. There is no single “official” list of all the Tachelhit (Chleuh) tribes, because there are more than 200, organized into tribal confederations spread across Souss, the southwestern High Atlas, and the Anti-Atlas. All of them speak Tashelhit, the most widely spoken Amazigh language in Morocco (6–8 million speakers).
