Marmol says, the Shelluhs and Berebbers write and speak one language, called Killem Abimalick * ; but the foregoing specimen, the accuracy of which may be depended on, clearly proves this assertion to be erroneous, as well as that of many moderns who have formed their opinion, in all probability, on the above authority. Now, although the Shelluh and Berebber languages are so totally dissimilar, that there is not one word in the foregoing vocabulary which resembles its corresponding word in the other language, yet, from the prejudice which Marmol's authority has Killem Abimalick signifies the Language of Abimalick ; this is evidently an error of Marmol, the Shelluh language is denominated Amazirk $ the Berebber Language is denq* mmotfA KillJem Br'ehher.
