Berbers

The Berbers, also known as Amazigh, are an indigenous ethnic group primarily found in North Africa, especially in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and parts of Libya and Mali. They have a rich history that dates back thousands of years, characterized by unique languages, culture, and traditions. The Berber language, Tamazight, is part of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Historically, they were known for their nomadic lifestyle, herding, and trade. Today, Berbers play a crucial role in North African culture, advocating for their rights and cultural identity, especially amid modern nation-states where they seek recognition and preservation of their heritage.
