Thank you for the response. You are right about the spelling mistake. I looked further into this and I believe this was made because in the coding in the 'all woman data set for Mali 2006' this group has been coded as 'tanachek'. Various other sources have also used this spelling in their write ups and I just couldn't understand why there was no information on this group from ethnic sources.

Additionally now I have been able to look up the Tamachek (with the correct spelling) I have found that in the ethnic literature they are more likely to be referred to as the Tuareg, which is why I could not discern my mistake alone.

Thank you so much for the clarification to the mystery.
