It is spoken by the Ait Seghrouchen tribe inhabiting east-central Morocco.
Ait Seghrouchen Berber is commonly classed as Central Atlas Tamazight.
It is reported to be mutually intelligible with the neighbouring Berber dialect of Ait Ayache.
Ayt Seghrouchen is notable for having the lateral fricative [ɬ] as an allophone of the sequence /lt/.
[4] /k, g/ are pronounced as stops, unlike the closely related Ayt Ayache dialect in which they are fricatives.
