Etymology
do you think this word is related to or is it just a coincidence ? Generally words meaning "tongue" and "language" are derived from the same root. If it's true it could be related to and it would provide an etymology to its Central Atlas Tamazight cognate. Malku H₂n̥rés (talk) 06:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That is not "generally" true, and there is no reason to believe it's true here, as they have almost no phonetic similarity. Additionally, I don't know if this actually can be reconstructed to Proto-Berber, but I have a feeling it can't. Please don't put that claim in entries unless you actually have evidence for it. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 15:58, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok sorry just wanted to be sure because, if one removes the t- -t feminine circumfix, there's *ulay which looks a bit like iles. At least some IE and Semitic languages have the words for "tongue" and "language" from a common etymology so a common etymology was not impossible, that's why I asked to got sure, but if you say so... Eventually we simply conclude the Central Atlas Tamazight word is a cognate of a later innovation and that's all. Malku H₂n̥rés (talk) 16:45, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No, you get -utlay-, which doesn't look much like iləs at all. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:33, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh my bad how did I do not to see the  ! I apologize for bothering you one more time for a stupid thing. Malku H₂n̥rés (talk) 18:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
