Senhaja de Srair or Senhaja Berber (Senhaja De Srair: Ccelḥa, Taṣenhajit, Arabic: الصنهاجية, romanized: aṣ-ṣanhājiyah), is a Northern Berber language. It is spoken by the Senhaja Srair Berbers inhabiting the central part of the Moroccan Rif. It is spoken around the Ketama and Targuist area, west of the Tarifit speaking area in eastern Rif.
Despite its speech area, the language belongs to the Atlas branch of Berber. It has also been influenced by the neighbouring Riffian language.
