Ait Yafelman

The Ait Yafelman (Central Atlas Tamazight: ⴰⵢⵜ ⵢⴰⴼⵍⵎⴰⵏ, romanized: Ayt Yaflman, lit. 'those who have found peace') are a large Berber tribal confederation spread over the southern end of the High Atlas of Morocco. They originally consisted of 4 tribes: Ait Morghad, Ait Haddidou, Ait Izdeg and Ait Yehia. These tribes created the alliance in the 17th century to counter the expansion of their Ait Atta neighbours. The Ait Yafelman speak Central Atlas Tamazight.
