    Berbers

    Ethnic group indigenous to North Africa

    Berbers, or the Berber peoples, also known as Amazigh or Imazighen, are a diverse grouping of distinct ethnic groups indigenous to North Africa who predate the arrival of Arabs in the Maghreb. Their main connections are identified by their usage of Berber languages, most of them mutually unintelligible, which are part of the Afroasiatic language family. They are indigenous to the Maghreb region of North Africa, where they live in scattered communities across parts of Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and to a lesser extent Tunisia, Mauritania, northern Mali and northern Niger. Smaller Berber communities are also found in Burkina Faso and Egypt's Siwa Oasis. Descended from Stone Age tribes of North Africa, accounts of the Imazighen were first mentioned in Ancient Egyptian writings. From about 2000 BCE, Berber languages spread westward from the Nile Valley across the northern Sahara into the Maghreb. Wikipedia

    The history of the Berbers goes back more than 10,000 years, to a time when the Sahara Desert was lush and green. They left behind cave drawings and rock art, and appeared in early Roman, Greek, Phoenician, and Egyptian texts. The very term "berber" might come from the Latin "barbarus," which was used to refer to non-Latin speaking peoples.
