Berber alphabets

The Berber alphabets are writing systems used for the Berber (Amazigh) languages, spoken by indigenous communities across North Africa. Historically, Berber was primarily written in the Latin and Arabic scripts, adapted to suit its sounds. In the 20th century, the Tifinagh alphabet was developed—a unique, ancient script revitalized for modern use—featuring geometric symbols. Today, multiple scripts coexist, with Tifinagh gaining official recognition, especially in Morocco and Algeria, supporting cultural identity. Overall, these alphabets reflect the rich linguistic heritage and ongoing efforts to preserve and promote Berber languages.
