Tuaregs. The Tuareg (sometimes spelled Touareg in French, or Twareg in English) are a Berber ethnic group or nation. Tuareg is a name that became applied to them by early explorers and historians, but they call themselves variously, Kel Tamasheq, Kel Tamajaq ("speakers of Tamasheq"), Imouhar, Imuhagh, Imazaghan, or Imashaghen ("the free"). The Tuareg people also identify themselves with the concept Tamust, 'The Nation'. The Tuareg today are found mostly in West Africa, but, like many in Northern Africa, were once nomads throughout the Sahara. The African Adventure - A History of Africa's Explorers by Timothy Severin, page 126.
