The majority (98% ) of modern Tunisians are Arabized Amazigh or Arab-Amazigh, and are speakers of Tunisian Arabic. However, there is also a small (1 percent at most) of pure native Amazigh located mainly in the Jabal Dahar mountains in the South East and on the island of Jerba. The Amazigh primarily speak Amazigh languages, often called Shilha or Tashlihit, or have shifted to Tunisian Arabic.
