	Er Rif. Language
		This group of different languages, but married by their ownership common to the ethnos amazigh, it has come to be generically, in growing consent, denominated as the language of the Middle Atlas, the tamazight, as general term that includes to all the other ones.
		The language Tarifit is the language Amazigh that at the moment survives in the north of the current State of Morocco.
		It is the one that use all the western languages, and in general all the languages of Europe with the Greek's exception (they use the Greek alphabet), Bulgarian, Russian, and the Serbocroatian that use the Cyrillic alphabet.

	Berber
		"The three Berber languages researched for this project are: Kabyle (Taqbaylit), spoken in northern Algeria; Tamazight (Berber), of central Morocco; and Tuareg, the indigenous name of which varies according to the dialect (Prasse 1972): Tamahaq in southern Algeria, Tamashaq in Mali, Tamajeq in Niger and in Libya (Ghat, where it may also be called Tamaziq).
		However, the main languages and domains are identifiable from the many dialect studies and from the arrangement by region of entries in the bibliographical resources used here: A. Basset, LLB, 1952, and the chronicles entitled "Langue et litérature berbère" (LELB) by Basset and Chaker, in AAN.

	Berber Branch
		In Algeria, Tamazight was recognized as a national language in 2002.
		It is estimated that there are between 14 and 25 million speakers of Berber languages, but exact numbers are difficult to ascertain, since most Maghreb countries do not record language data in their censuses, and many people who speak these languages are hard-to-reach nomads.
		In addition, these languages go by different names in their respective language communities -- a factor that confuses the issue of whether these are dialects of one language or different languages.

	The Tamazight (Berber) language profile, par Karim Achab.
		Tamazight belongs to the African branch of the Afro-Asian language family, also referred to as Hamito-Semitic in the literature, along with ancient Egyptian and other African languages such as the ones called Cuchitic and Chadic languages, as opposed to the oriental or Semitic branch constituted of semitic languages.
		The question as to whether these languages started in Africa or the Middle East along with the Semitic languages is still controversial and goes beyond the field of linguistics since it involves archaeology, as well as pre-history and paleontology.
		Given the similarities, the possibility that the substrata of these languages are African with an important eastern influence from Semitic languages is the most plausible, although a western influence of Semitic languages from the African branch, namely Egyptian, is not to be excluded.

		Among the Berber languages are Tarifit or Riffi (northern Morocco), Kabyle (Algeria) and Tashelhiyt (central Morocco).
		In Western languages, this term can also (somewhat misleadingly) be used specifically to refer to the language of the Middle Atlas mountains in Morocco, closely related to Tashelhiyt.
		Subclassification of the Berber languages is made difficult by their mutual closeness; Maarten Kossmann (1999) describes it as two dialect continua, Northern Berber and Tuareg, and a few peripheral languages, spoken in isolated pockets largely surrounded by Arabic, that fall outside these continua, namely Zenaga and the Libyan and Egyptian varieties.

		The linguistic situation of the Moroccan children in Germany can be described as follows: they learn the official language of the host country at school, while their home language (mostly Tarifit Berber, but also Moroccan Arabic) is restricted in its scope to their family and the networks of their own community.
		Modern Standard Arabic as the official language of the home country is taught in the framework of “mother tongue teaching” only for some hours a week and in parents’ associations or mosques.
		In analysing literacy practices, the projects thus contributed to a better understanding of an important dimension of the formation of identity of Moroccan adolescents in an immigration context and a context of origin with respect to religious, ethnic, national and transnational models.

		Their languages, from the Afroasiatic language family, are spoken throughout the region, from the Siwa Oasis in Egypt to the Atlantic coast, and as far south as southern Niger and Mali.
		Despite the fact that more than 1 million inhabitants speak the language today, social and economic changes are causing many young people to leave their mother tongue and concentrate on languages of upward mobility, such as Modern Standard Arabic, French and Spanish.
		In addition to his lexical investigations as presented here, he analyzed the phonology of the language and developed a roman-based orthography to go along with the traditional writing system, and he subsequently wrote his doctoral dissertation on the structure of the language (McClelland 1996, published in revised form as McClelland 2000).

		The absence, of any means of social reproduction of the language (education, mass media), of an institutional and official presence of the language (and the lack of a solid system of local cultural associations that could use Tamazight and reinforce its position within the community) means that its survival is in fail.
		Transaction between all the three versions of Tamazight: Tachelhit, Tarifit and tamzight is not taken seriously to narrow the gaps and limit the differences with the hope of making a standard and unified course book for the language.
		My personal experience either at The American Language Center in Fez or at Al Akhawayn University taught me that the lack of a course book is one of the most major reasons which deters students from learning the language.

		The third stage is the final morphological stage, marked by the correct use of morphological devices such as prefixation, infixation and/or suffixation, as well as by the correct morphological inflections.
		When applying this developmental schema on Tarifit speaking children in the Netherlands, the majority of grade 1 children were in the first stage.
		A small number reached the second stage, spread over the first part of suffixation in which they ignored the prefixation process, and the second part in which both prefixation and suffixation devices were used.
