The present paper seeks to investigate the impact of family language ideologies and beliefs on Tashelhit choice and use in Ait Ourir. It mainly sheds light on parents’ beliefs and attitudes toward Tashelhit in Ait Ourir and explains the way these beliefs affect the use of Tashelhit among families and its transmission to future generations. The paper adopts a qualitative research design. It employs semi-structured interviews as a qualitative instrument to collect data from the participants. 20 families are purposefully selected to take part in the study. The collected data are analyzed using thematic analysis. The paper provides practical implications for Tashelhit and other Amazigh varieties. Among the most important of which is that the way people view a language and the kind of values they assign to it determine their use and choice of it. Therefore, raising its material value is fundamental to its preservation, maintenance, and transmission to future generations.
