Chaouia is the Zenati Berber language of the Chaoui people of eastern Algeria, around Batna and Khenchela. It has over a million speakers. Known alternative spellings are "Shawia", "Shawiya", "Tachawit", "Thachawith", "Tachaouith", and "Th'Chèwith", but in the Chaouia language, the leading TH sound is often reduced to an H, thus the name is pronounced "H'chawit".
