How Does Antibiotic Misuse Contribute to Rise of Antimicrobial Resistance

Abstract

Charles Foucault is regarded as one of the most important scholars to have studied the Touareg language, and is the only one to have compiled a dictionary containing daily Touareg vocabulary, having lived amongst the Touareg in the Algerian Sahara, mingled with the local population and learnt Tamahag vocabulary over a period of ten years – the time he spent in the Hoggar region from 1905 to 1916. The Tamahag dictionary– the Ahaggar dialect – is the only reference preserving the written Tuareg language for posterity. Comprising four volumes, it spans over 3,000 pages and contains more than ten thousand words, making it the most important resource for learning the Tuareg language, alongside other works related to Tuareg language and culture. For this reason, in this article I shall attempt to discuss Charles Foucauldo’s career and his contributions to the study of Tamahag vocabulary.
