Tuareg People
The Tuareg language, a branch of the
Berber languages, has an estimated 1.2
million speakers. About half this number is
accounted for by speakers of the Eastern
dialect (Tamajaq, Tawallammat). Most
Tuareg live in the Saharan parts of Niger,
Mali, and Algeria. Being nomadic, they
move constantly across national borders,
and small groups of Tuareg also live in
southeastern Algeria, southwestern Libya
and northern Burkina Faso, and a small
community in northern Nigeria.

The Tuareg are "largely matrilineal".Tuareg women
have high status compared with their Arab
counterparts. Other distinctive aspects of Tuareg
culture include clothing, food, language, religion,
arts, astronomy, nomadic architecture, traditional
weapons, music, films, games, and economic
activities.
In Tuareg society women do not traditionally wear
the veil, whereas men do. The most famous Tuareg
symbol is the Tagelmust (also called éghéwed),
referred to as a Cheche (pronounced "Shesh"), an
often indigo blue-colored veil called Alasho. The
men's facial covering originates from the belief that
such action wards off evil spirits. It may have related
instrumentally from the need for protection from
the harsh desert sands.

It is the men who cover up their faces, while the women are happy to show off their
faces - although they often cover their hair.

For a Tuareg man, it is highly shameful to eat in front of his mother-in-law, who
commands great respect.
