	GeoNative - Tamazight - Berber
		There may be around 20 million speakers of Tamazight or Berber, a broad group of dialects or languages, that can be considered in an unitary way.

	Euromosaic -Berber (Tamazight) in Spain
		The Berber language known as Tamazight is spoken in northern Africa (Morocco and Algeria).
		It seems that the oral tradition of Tamazight is guaranteed to the extent that the majority of parents use it to talk to their children.
		The absence of an institutional and official presence, of the means of social reproduction of the language (education, mass media) and the lack of a solid network of local cultural associations that could use Tamazight and bolster its position within the community mean that its survival is in jeopardy.

		Tamazight also, should benefit from the process of standardisation which is the consequence of an institutional decision and not an intrinsic quality of languages on themselves and by themselves.
		Tamazight education should be organised within the North African educational systems through these three-tier administrative structure: (1) central (a certain federal organisation), for example, an international committee; (2) regional or national, for example, Ministries of Education; (3) institutional, for example, school or college.
		Summative student evaluation is important for Tamazight teaching as it concerns the assessment of student achievement at the end of a course of teaching, in answer to the question whether the student has reached a certain mastery level envisaged by the curriculum.

		The Libyan Tamazight speakers, like their Libyan brothers and sisters, are subjected to all kinds of oppression; their rights are severely abused and violated by the current dictator and despotic regime.
		Libyan Tamazight speakers, activists, and militants, like their other Libyan brother activists and militants, are pursued and prosecuted to the point where their lives and that of their family and friends are in serious danger.
		Tamazight today is an important and undeniable component of our society in Libya and in all Tamazgha (North Africa).

		A second letter was sent to the Department of Education (under the direction of the new Secretary A. Brerhi) reiterating the suggestions of the previous letter.
		A letter was sent to the Department of Education requesting that a Tamazight track be introduced in the newly created Institute of Linguistics and Phonetics.
		Except for this plan, which was carried out in favor of the Arabic language and culture only, and the two institutes for the Amazigh language and civilization (Tizi Ouzou and Bgayet) created in 1988, none of the other proposals have had any consideration on the part of the government.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Tamazight, a Berber variety spoken in central Morocco, has two different strategies to express sentential negation similar in this respect to other Berber dialects reported in Chaker (1996), Nait-Zerrad (1994) among others.
		Tamazight, Taqbaylit, Chaoui and Tarifit in this respect are similar to French, which employs two negation elements ne and pas.
		I analyze Berber negative element Neg1 as a Neg head (Tamazight ur for example) and Neg2 as a specifier of NegP (the case of sha for example).

		For the second time, the government found a way to put Tamazight on the back burner when it argued that building and strengthening newly independent Algeria came first before Tamazight.
		Moreover, the idea of referendum on Tamazight is illogical: One people's identity, language, culture and dignity, in this case Imazighen, can not be voted on by another people, in this case the speakers of Algerian Arabic.
		The objective of the government's declaration if far from implying its genuine interest in the future of Tamazight: It was obviously only a ploy to stop Tamazight from becoming a regional issue because its discrimination against Tamazight and Imazighen would attract the attention of the international community.

		When we speak about Tamazight, we mean the identity of the entire Algerian people Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika Tamazight will be recognised as a national language, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced in a speech to the nation on Tuesday.
		"The national character of Tamazight cannot be questioned, whether the issue relates to Tamazight as a language or to Tamazight as a culture." Boycott threat The move comes just days after Berber leaders called for a boycott of the parliamentary election in May, saying the state had failed to address the community's concerns.
		Tamazight, which encompasses several regional dialects, is spoken mostly by Berbers and by other ethnic groups in Algeria and Morocco.

	Morocco's Berbers Battle to Keep Their Culture
		The "Tamazight Spring" uprising of 1980 mobilized anti-government sentiment, and hundreds were killed in the "Black October" riots of 1988.
		Last March, Berber activists drafted and submitted to the government the "Berber Manifesto." It called on the state to recognize Tamazight as a national language, teach Tamazight in schools, license a Berber television station, allot government money to speed up development in historically neglected areas, and end restrictions on registering Berber names for their children.
		The first said Tamazight could be used in primary school only to "facilitate the learning of the official language" - Arabic.

		Apparently it was also used occasionally for a few poems in Middle Atlas Tamazight and in Tarifit; however, the American anthropologist Carleton Coon noted (in 1931!) that most of the Berber books in Morocco even as far north as the Rif were in Tachelhit.
		For Libya or the Canaries, I have no idea; but it is interesting to note that Tawalt has begun using Tifinagh for some purposes.
		In the meantime, a variety of idiosyncratic Latin transcriptions compatible with normal keyboards are being used on several websites (eg Tamazgha, but no two are alike); what Tifinagh there is on the net appears as images or uses proprietary fonts.

	FWB, Fall 1994/Winter 1995
		Berbers in Morocco perceive their identity to be threatened primarily by marginalization and exclusion from access to education and media exposure in the country.
		Despite these changes in the Moroccan constitution that were in fact institutionalized, the government continues to suppress the Tamazight language as a symbol of Berber identity and cultural rights.
		They were accused of holding banners in the Berber language and shouting slogans for the recognition of Tamazight in the constitution.26 Such repression demonstrates the vulnerability of the Berber culture and its advocates.

		Because of the nature of regional variation in Tamazight (Berber), the teaching has to take this into consideration: The three major varieties are all taught in their respective regions (Tarifit in the north, Tamazight in the central area, and Tashelhit more to the south).
		The ides -according to IRCAM sources is to gradually insert a small amount of Standard Tamazight in the educational programs, with the goal to reach one variety, a Standrd for all learners and/of speakers of Tamazight.
		The answer to all likeliyhood is NO. One cannot say much about the real plans of the ministry of Education in Morocco, as long as there are no documents accessible to the public, which would outline the language policy of Morocco, it is very hard to speculate on what the future will be like.
