Languages
The Tamazian language is the only official state language spoken natively by 91% of the population. It is written in the Latin alphabet. The Uzbek language is spoken by a relatively small minority in the Western province and the Lingala language by a small immigrant community in the capital. Monolingual speakers of Uzbek or Lingala are rare and virtually all speakers of other languages than Tamazian speak Tamazian as a second language.

Dialects
The X language can be divided into three main dialects: Eastern, Central and Western. The standard form of the language is based on the Central dialect spoken in and around the capital Qarani. The Easter dialect is more archaic than the rest of the dialects and has preserved most of the old forms and has very little foreign influence. The Western dialect has had a lot of Uzbek influence which shows in its more synthetic grammar and especially in the vocabulary. The Uzbek loanwords are numerous. The Central dialect is a cross-over dialect and serves as the standard language used in media and contacts. The central dialect is thought in schools as Tmazi.

Examples:

Religion
Religion plays a minor role in the society. The state is not affiliated with any church and all churches function as private associations. Most Tamazians do not adhere to any religious group. There are small animist, Muslim and Christian communities. Most Muslims live in the West of the country, many of them ethnic Uzbeks. The largest Christian group is the Carmelites who have a church in the Capital and a monastery in the rural parts of the Eastern Province. Adherence to religion: 72% Irreligious, 10% Animists, 8% Muslims, 6% Carmelites, 4% other denominations.

Health
Life expectancy was estimated in 2013 at 82.15 years for women and 79.62 years for men. Public health care is available to all citizens. Each town/district has a doctor’s office and a dentist’s office. They are typically small and run by 1-2 doctors, 1 dentist and a nursing staff of 4-8 members. Pharmacies sell over the counter and prescription drugs but also chemicals – the regular stores can only carry organic non-synthetic products.
