'''Sened''' is an [[Extinct language|extinct]] [[East Zenati languages|East Zenati Berber language]] that was spoken in the nearby towns of [[Sened (town)|Sened]] and [[Majoura]] (Berber ''Tmagurt'') in southern [[Tunisia]] until the mid-20th century. In 1911, the whole town of Sened spoke Berber; by 1968, only the elderly did.

==Sample==

From a section translated from the epic [[Taghribat Bani Hilal]], detailing the incursion of the [[Banu Hilal]], in Provotelle's ''Etude sur la Tamazir't ou Zenatia de Qalaât Es-sned (Tunisie)'' (1911). The Arabic and French transcriptions of the text are reproduced unchanged; in the latter, r' represents a [[voiced uvular fricative]], kh a [[voiceless uvular fricative]], ch represents English sh, ou represents /u/ or /w/, i represents /i/ or /j/, and e represents [[schwa]].
