	Berber languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Etymologically, it means "language of the free" or "of the noblemen." Traditionally, the term "tamazight" (in various forms: "thamazighth", "tamasheq", "tamajeq", "tamahaq") was used by many Berber groups to refer to the language they spoke, including the Middle Atlas, the Rif, Sened in Tunisia, and the Tuareg.
		Tamazight (the Berber language/s) is a member of the Afro-Asiatic language family (formerly called Hamito-Semitic.) Traditional genealogists often considered the Berbers as Arabs that immigrated from Yemen; for this reason, some considered Tamazight to derive from Arabic.
		The Berber languages have two cases of the noun, organized ergatively: one is unmarked, while the other serves for the subject of a transitive verb and the object of a preposition.

	Northern Berber languages
		The Northern Berber languages are a dialect continuum across the Maghreb that form a sub-family within the Berber languages.
		The eastern boundaries of the group seem to be controversial; some sources include the Nafusi language and the Ghadames language, while others do not.
		There is no authoritative answer to the question of which of these to describe as a "language" versus a "dialect"; some academics have seen not only Northern Berber but all the Berber languages as dialects of a single language, while others come up with much higher counts.

		They were a major political force in the area in the Middle Ages; the Zayyanids of Tlemcen were of Zenati origin, and they were an important force in the Rustamid dynasty.
		Their varieties of Berber, collectively termed Zenati, are spread over a wide area; for this reason, several languages are termed "Zenati" or in some cases are spoken by people who call themselves Zenata.
		The Zenata are also recalled in several placenames across the Maghreb, notably Oued Zenati in Algeria.

		The language situation in Algeria is fairly complex, particularly because of its social and political manifestations.
		This language is used in the courts, in most of the media, in the schools and part of the universities, in the mosques, and for probably the majority of publications.
		The language has strong favorable associations with patriotism and religion among most speakers, and is considered to be the ideal form of Arabic; however, a few disparage it for its distance from most people's daily speech.

		Afro-Asiatic - Berber ---- The Berber languages (or Tamazight) are a group of closely related languages mainly spoken in Morocco and Algeria.
		However, other terms were used by other groups; for instance, many parts of western Algeria called their language "taznatit" or Zenati, while the Kabyles called theirs "thaqvaylith", the inhabitants of Siwa "tasiwit", and the Zenaga "Tuddhungiya"http://www.rosettaproject.org/live/search/showpages?ethnocode=ZEN&doctype=detail&version=0&scale=six.

		For the other major first language, Tamazight (Berber), there is a fair amount on the Net.
		Unfortunately, most of it is complaining about the suppression of the language, which isn't very helpful to people who actually want to learn it.
		I suspect the southern Zenati dialects (Mzabi, Ouargli, etc.) are mutually comprehensible with the northern Tamazight dialects (especially Chaouia) anyway, but in any case I haven't found any website about them to link to.
