Tmaziɣt or Tamaziɣt is Berber. And many languages which are derived from Berber call the language Tmaziɣt. Riffian call Tarifit tmaziɣt and others too call their language Tmaziɣt/Tamaziɣt. However we have native names of every language beside Tmaziɣt.
I believe as Riffian we use Tarifiyt as native name.
$english_name = 'Tarifit'; $native_name = 'Tarifiyt';
or even we use Riffian as English name:
$english_name = 'Riffian'; $native_name = 'Tarifit';

I understand that you have checked Wikipedia and you are trying to get the most truthfulness information you can have. as I'm trying too to explain to you why Tmaziɣt is not the most accurate word here.

  1. Tmaziɣt and Tamaziɣt are the same term in different grammatical case.
  2. Tamaziɣt is used to refer to Berber language. which is the mother language of all sub-Berber languages.
  3. Imazighen is the term that is used to refer to the Berber people, who are an indigenous ethnic group that lives in North Africa.
  4. Imazighen refer to their language as Tamaziɣt for a number of reasons.
  5. Tamaziɣt is the term that has been traditionally used to refer to the Berber language.

The term "Tamaziɣt" refers to the Imaziɣen's language when speaking with non-Berber speakers. Among Berber speakers, "Tamaziɣt" specifically refers to Central Atlas Tamazight (tzm). However, Specific sub-Berber language speakers (Tarifit speakers for example) also use the term "Tamaziɣt" to refer to their own language. It is also believed that the native name for the Tarifit language is "Tarifiyt".
