Research priorities
The linguist Galand dealt with the Old Libyan and modern Berber languages . Due to its longer stays in Morocco can Shilha language of Schlöh / Schelha are considered to be linguistic focus, but he also Kabyle (Algeria) and the dialects of the Tuareg taught. The research into the Tamahaq (Tuareg des Hoggar in southern Algeria) in particular owes a great deal to him in connection with his studies of the texts recorded by Charles de Foucauld . It concerns the correspondence between de Foucauld and the Amenokal (local chief of the tribe) Musa ag Amastan.
The common approach of his Berberological research was comparative linguistics.
