~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Berber:

Group of languages, from Morocco to Egypt. Differences
between the languages can be considerable, due to geographical
distances. There are about 300 local dialects. The largest of
the Berber languages is found in Kabylia in Algeria. Berber
languages form a branch of the Afro-Asiatic linguistic family.
Most Berbers have no written language and the efforts that have
been seen in Algeria, have been little implemented.

In Morocco there are three main dialects. Riffan is spoken
in the Rifs, but this dialect continues down along the Algerian
border in eastern Morocco all the way to Figuig. The dialect of
the High Atlas and Middle Atlas, has many names, like Berber,
Amazigh, Zaian or Tamazight. The dialect used in the Anti Atlas
and south western oases is called Chelha or Tashelhait, Soussi or
Chleuh.

In Algeria there is one main Berber dialect, called Amazigh. Out
in the Sahara a Berber language called Zénčte is used. Berber
language in Tunisia, called Chelha, is dying out in our times,
form the remaining few small towns in the southern part of the
country. Parents and then especially women (who never leave their
village for work), speak or at least understand Chelha, while kids
are only learning Arabic.

In Libya, Berbers of Jabal Nafusa, inland from Tripoli, speak their
own language, called Mazir. Here the language is still strong and
vibrant.

In Egypt, Berber language is spoken along the coastal zone west of
Alexandria, and in the oasis of Siwa.

Berber identity these days is linked to the language: many of the
North Africans calling themselves Arabs are more of Berber origin
than Arab.
