Sumario:[eng] Here we introduce the main issues that should be taken into account in order to deal with the Amazigh (Berber) toponymy of Šarq al -Andalus. The text contains a survey of philological, historiographical, archaeological, anthropological and sociolinguistic evidence of the settlements of Amazigh-speaking communities in Šarq al-Andalus (§1); a discussion of the methodology of toponymic inquiries into the Amazigh superstratum in Šarq al-Andalus (§2); surveys of the Northern African background and geographic distribution of Amazigh settlements in Šarq al-Andalus (§3), of the social structures of Amazigh communities in Šarq al-Andalus (§4) and of the implications of the introduction of irrigation techniques and horticulture for toponymic studies (§5); and, finally, a sociolinguistic report of Šarq al-Andalus in the Middle Ages (§6).
