Berber Studies

Berber Studies is an academic field focused on the Berber peoples, indigenous to North Africa, primarily in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mali, and Niger. It explores their languages, cultures, histories, and social structures, examining how they relate to broader regional and global contexts. Researchers study traditional Berber customs, modern challenges, and the impact of globalization while also preserving their linguistic heritage, primarily the Tamazight languages. This field highlights the significance of Berber identity and its contributions to the cultural tapestry of North Africa.
