		The aim of the project is to document the variety of Berber spoken in Siwa Oasis, through a corpus collected and transcribed on the field. 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.

Siwa is divided into 11 tribes, all of them ruled by a Sheikh, but there is also Government offices and a Police Station.
