Air Tamajeq (Tayərt) is a variety of Tuareg. It is spoken by the Tuareg people inhabiting the Aïr Mountains of the Agadez Region in Niger.
Ethnologue lists two dialects: Air (Tayərt) and Tanassfarwat (Tamagarast/Taməsgərəst). Blench (2006) considers these two varieties to be distinct languages. He lists Ingal and Gofat as dialects of Air/Tayərt and Azerori as a dialect of Tamesgrest.
