Berber or the Amazigh languages or dialects (Berber name: Tamaziɣt, Tamazight, ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ[tæmæˈzɪɣt], [θæmæˈzɪɣθ]) are a family of similar and closely related languages and dialects indigenous to North Africa. They are spoken by large populations in Algeria and Morocco, and by smaller populations in Libya, Tunisia, northern Mali, western and northern Niger, northern Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and in the Siwa Oasis of Egypt. Large Berber-speaking migrant communities have been living in Western Europe since the 1950s. In 2001, Berber became a constitutional national language of Algeria, and in 2011 Berber became a constitutionally official language of Morocco, after years of persecution.
Berber constitutes a branch of the Afroasiatic language family, and has been attested since ancient times. The number of ethnic Berbers is much higher than the number of Berber speakers. The bulk of the populations of the Maghreb countries are considered to have Berber ancestors. In Algeria, for example, a majority of the population consists of Arabized Berbers.
This is the story of the Amazigh, the indigenous people of North Africa who have lived in the region for thousands of years. #Amazigh #NorthAfrica #Morocco #Algeria

Tamazight
"Tamazight" means 'free people', and is what the Berbers call themselves in their own language. In October 2017, Jenny Tough ran solo and unsupported across the High Atlas Mountains, a place still populated by the Tamazight, but patrolled by the Moroccan Gendarmerie. The 860km expedition run took 22 days, using old Berber trail networks and carrying a 10kg backpack. This film was self-shot by Jenny with a compact camera stuffed in the side of the backpack.

Standard Moroccan Amazigh
Standard Moroccan Tamazight; Standard Moroccan Berber
ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ ⵜⴰⵏⴰⵡⴰⵢⵜ tamaziɣt tanawayt
Native to: Morocco
Language family: Afro-Asiatic (Berber)
Standard Moroccan Amazigh, also known as Standard Moroccan Berber or Tamazight, is an ongoing project to create a standardized national Moroccan variety of Berber. It was established in accordance with Article 5 of the 2011 amendments to the Moroccan Constitution.
Standard Amazigh was created by combining the three major Moroccan Berber languages (Shilha or Tashelhiyt, Central Atlas Tamazight and Riffian or Tarifit), with an emphasis on the Shilha language. The creation of this standard made all the Berber languages of Morocco 'substandard'; no-one speaks Standard Amazigh natively and it must be learned in school. At the same time, a new script was created, based on the Berber Academy's Neo-Tifinagh adaptation of the Tuaregs' traditional Tifinagh script (augmented with letters for vowels and additional letters for consonants) but adjusted for legibility

Berber or the Amazigh languages or dialects (Berber name: Tamaziɣt, Tamazight, ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ[tæmæˈzɪɣt], [θæmæˈzɪɣθ]) are a family of similar and closely related languages and dialects indigenous to North Africa. They are spoken by large populations in Algeria and Morocco, and by smaller populations in Libya, Tunisia, northern Mali, western and northern Niger, northern Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and in the Siwa Oasis of Egypt. Large Berber-speaking migrant communities have been living in Western Europe since the 1950s. In 2001, Berber became a constitutional national language of Algeria, and in 2011 Berber became a constitutionally official language of Morocco, after years of persecution.
Berber constitutes a branch of the Afroasiatic language family, and has been attested since ancient times. The number of ethnic Berbers is much higher than the number of Berber speakers. The bulk of the populations of the Maghreb countries are considered to have Berber ancestors. In Algeria, for example, a majority of the population consists of Arabized Berbers.
We try to understand What we have done... But we have lost the world forever We are walking over frozen oceans We see no trees, we see no sun All the flowers in the garden Died years ago under the ice We hear a thunderstorm from far away It's a dark sign for the end of days The earth stands still, the sky is on fire It's natures revenge for what we've done There are no animals, there is no rain To wash away the blood from our hands And we're still praying for redemption For someone to show us the way But we have lost our future today We hear a thunderstorm from far away It's a dark sign for the end of days The earth stands still, the sky is on fire It's natures revenge for what we've done This is doomsday -we've lost the game
"It would be an understatement to say that this a life-giving move for an indigenous language like Tamazight," Brahim El Guabli, an Amazigh scholar and associate professor at Williams College, told The NewArab.
Teaching Tamazight in numbers ... The ambition is to generalize the teaching of Tamazight in 12,000 educational establishments and to reach 4 million students by 2030.
The training programs are a serious struggle in the North African kingdom's road to strengthening the presence of English and Tamazight, the Amazigh language... After decades of fighting for Tamazight ...
