The Western Algerian group of Berber dialects include Chenoua (within which is Gouraya) and Snous.[2] It also comprises the Berber dialects spoken in smaller areas of Blida, Medea, Miliana and Ouarsenis (i.e. Blench's Chelif Berber), as well as the nearly (or already?) extinct dialects of Achacha, Aït H'lima and Bathia,[1][3] for most of which we have no linguistic data.
