Tadaksahak (also Daoussahak, Dausahaq and other spellings, after the Tuareg name for its speakers, DÃÂwsÃÂhak) is a Songhay language spoken by the pastoralist Idaksahak of the Ménaka Region and Gao Region of Mali. Its phonology, verb morphology and vocabulary has been strongly influenced by the neighbouring Tuareg languages, Tamasheq and Tamajaq.
