Can Tuaregs, Kabyle and Sanhja Amazighs understand each other?

- In this episode we showcase some of the similarities and test the degree of mutual intelligibility between three different Amazigh languages. Instead of a list of words and sentences, Wissam (Kabyle speaker), Myles (Tamashek Tuareg speaker), and Mohamed (Senhaja de Srair speaker) will each read short paragraphs in their respective languages to see how well they can understand one another.
The Amazigh (Berber) languages (ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ) are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family and spoken by the Amazigh (Berber) people, who are indigenous to North Africa. The largest Amazigh speaking populations are in Morocco, Algeria and Libya. There are also communities in Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Mauritania and in the Siwa Oasis of Egypt. It has official status in both Algeria and Morocco. Historically, the ancient Libyco-Berber script was used in order to write the language. Today it is still widely used in the form of the Tifinagh script. In addition to the dialects present today, there were a number of others which have gone extinct. For instance, Amazigh languages were historically spoken in present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan.

The overwhelming majority of the Amazigh speakers today speak one of the seven varieties, which are Shilha (Tashelhiyt), Kabyle (Taqbaylit), Central Atlas Tamazight (Tamaziɣt), Riffian (Tarifit), Shawiya (Tacawit) and Tuareg (Tamaceq/Tamajeq/Tamaheq). Each one also has separate dialects. In this video we will be featuring four of them to see how well they can understand each other!
It's important to note that the term Berber, borrowed from Latin "barbari", has been used for centuries and is still used today. Many people are unaware of the term Amazigh. Many Amazigh linguists prefer the term Tamazight as a native word while still using the European word "Berber" as an exonym, but there other writers, especially in Morocco, who prefer "Amazigh" when writing about it in French, English, or other European languages.
Kabyle (Taqbaylit / ⵜⴰⵇⴱⴰⵢⵍⵉⵜ) is primarily spoken by the Kabyle people in the Kabylia region of northern Algeria, as well as in the capital of the country, Algiers. The Kabyle people (Iqbayliyen / ⵉⵣⵡⴰⵡⵏ) represent the largest Amazigh population of Algeria and the second largest in North Africa, and have a very rich and ancient culture which plays a major role in many aspects of the Algerian lifestyle, from literature, to music, to traditional garment, to cuisine. A big component of it is poetry, with famous poets such as Si Mohand, whose works were collected and published by the famous Kabyle Algerian anthropologist and linguist Mouloud Mammeri (Mulud At Mɛammar). Mammeri published a book using a Latin-based alphabet to define the orthographic rules of the language, which became the standard for writing in Tamazight today. Prior to that, Kabyle was written with the Tifinagh alphabet until the 7th century and after that the Arabic script. In the 18th century, a Latin-based alphabet was adopted based on French spelling. After Algeria gained independence from France, there were attempts to bring the Tifinagh script back into use for Kabyle, and even though the Tifinagh script is present today, it is mainly just used for decorative purposes. The new Latin orthography that was devised by Mouloud Mammerior, is the most common script and unlike the previous Latin script, it is not based on the French spelling system.
The Tuareg languages, also known as Tamashek/Tamasheq (ⴾⵍⵜⵎⴰⵣⵗⵜ) are spoken by the Tuareg people, primarily in Mali, Niger, Algeria, Libya and Burkina Faso, with small community in Chad. Classified as part of the South Berber group of languages, they are sometimes considered as separate languages. The Tuareg languages are more conservative compared to other Amazigh languages in retaining two short vowels and have for not having a lot less Arabic loanwords. Traditionally written in the Tifinagh alphabet, the Arabic script is also commonly used in some areas, along with the Latin script, which is official in Mali and Niger. Language is a major component of the Tuareg culture, with authors such Hawad (Mahmoudan Hawad) being one of the best representatives of Tuareg literature. Hawad has published numerous books of poetry and other literary works.
Senhaja de Srair (ⵜⴰⵚⴻⵏⵀⴰⵊⵉⵜ) is a Northern Berber language spoken by the Sanhaja Amazigh people of the Moroccan Rif. Historically, the Sanhaja were one of the largest Berber tribal confederations, along with the Zanata and Masmuda confederations.

How many Amazigh languages exist?
Sir could you kindly make a program to teach about this script
Please heart my comment Mr Bahador Alast i my favorite videos are Indonesian & Hindi similarities & Filipino & Hindi similarities & last one Croatian (my native language)& Persian similarities
@@arexta153 ok so i think of Tamaziɣt as a language family, where you have dialect continuums.
so historically speaking from Tangier, Morocco up to Targuist, Morocco, the dialect there should be Senhadja Srayr or Taghomarit which is close anyway, and from Targuist/Hoceima till Tlemcen Algeria that would be Zenati Riffian, from Tlemcen till Algiers it would be Tacenwit, from Algiers until Bumerdes it would be Taqvaylit, and from there up to the Tunisian Mountains it would be Tacawit, or Chawi, the dialect of Lalla Dihya. and then in Libya you have Tanfusit and some other close oasis dialects up to the Siwi in Egypt. thats for Northern Tamaziɣt.
Then you have Tachelḥit in Atlas mountains, Tamaseq with its different dialects, and Taznagit in Mauritania.
I think i might have missed a dialect or two.
@@adnanafulay3142 Are there any Amazighs in Sudan?
This channel should be given a prize for language awareness and conversation.
Defintely!! I have learned about so many languages from this channel which I didn't know existed before!

@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail
I agree. Unfortunately the spread of Islam has wiped so many cultures and traditions.
I'm Somali and our culture and beliefs before Islam is almost completely wiped. There are bits and pieces here and there but most people no nothing about our culture pre-Islam. It's very sad to be honest.
Yeah a Nobel Peace Prize or something
This isn't a language this is a dialog.
I'm so happy to happy the Amazigh represented showing us all the heritage they share and the differences that makes them unique
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail Why would you lie if Islam really destroyed your language, it would not have survived until now
That so called Tuareg guy isn't even a Tuareg

Tuareg areas of Algeria, a distinct tenant-peasant strata lives around oases known as izeggaghan. These peasant strata have blended in with freed black slaves and farm arable lands together, they are mixed race.
The Ikelan (Éklan/Ikelan or Ibenheren in Tamasheq; Bouzou in Hausa; Bella in Songhai; singular Akli) are a caste within Tuareg society, who were at one time slaves or servile communities. While the Ikelan now speak the same language as the Tuareg nobles and share many customs, they are of assimilated Nilotic origin rather than of Amazigh/Berber heritage like the ethnic Tuareg. They also often live in communities separated from other castes.
The Ikelan's situation is somewhat analogous to the Haratin within Maure society in Mauritania. Like the Haratin, the name "Ikelan", and to a much greater degree Bouzou and Bella, are exonyms (a name not used by that people themselves) with negative connotations. Historically the term "Ikelan" has been used to refer to the black slaves of the Tuareg and the term iklan means "to be black" and these slaves provided labor at their masters request. In parts of West Africa an unknown number of Ikelan caste individuals continue to live in slavery or slavery-like relationships with other Tuareg individuals. Ikelan individuals and communities are found through much of Niger, Mali, southern Algeria and Libya, and parts of northern Burkina Faso and Nigeria.
The Inadan are a cast within the Tuaregs, that is for people who are of Sub-Saharan origin or who are of Sudanic origin only, they are mainly blacksmiths. The Inadan live in Tuareg settlements, are sedentary and dark skinned, considered subordinate and lowly, and endogamous because of social taboos towards inter-marriage between their strata and other members of the Tuareg tribe. According to the anthropologist Tal Tamari, linguistic evidence suggests that the Tuareg blacksmith and bard endogamous castes evolved under foreign contact with Sudanic peoples since the Tuareg terms for blacksmith and bard are of non-Amazigh/Berber origin.
In the Tuareg areas of Algeria, a distinct tenant-peasant strata lives around oases known as izeggaghan. These peasant strata have blended in with freed black slaves and farm arable lands together. The izeggaghan are mixed race.
What French authors say:
Lyon said that the Tuareg race is the most beautiful race of men he has ever seen. He said that they are white, but because of their climate, they start having a darker skin, and the skin of the parts of their body that are covered are white like the that of the Europeans. Daumas said that the Tuaregs have white skin, even those who camp in Timbuktu. He also said that their women are so white, white like a Christian. Bonnafont said that they have white blood, and that they keep out any alliance with the Negro race, who they despise sovereignly.
The northern Tuaregs are white, but the southern ones are more or less dark because they are closer to Negros. White is the color of their childhood, says M. Duveyrier, but the suns doesn’t take a lot of time to give them a darker skin. The Serfs have a darker skin because of inter-marriages with the Blacks. Some Tuaregs have blue eyes, but this is not frequent.
We must distinguish the noble or free Tuaregs from the submitted or servant tribes. The Imuchagh, noble Tuaregs have a lighter skin.
Even if some Tuaregs have a darker skin, they’re still not negroid, except for a few whose blood is mostly of slaves.

As a kabyle native speaker from Tizi Ouzou, I managed to understand 99% of what the Bejaiya girl was saying but only 70% of the Rifian amazigh and barely 10% of what the guy of Tamanrasset was saying.

Tanmirt a gmanou ichl7yn en force !
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail heh i'm atheist but I frankly don't think so, If you studied just a tad bit of amazigh history you'll quickly learn about the huge rivalry between masmouda sanhadja and zenata and even lesser clans and tribes and confederations, I think people found a greater meaning to life with Islam and it did unite them and redirected their warrior traditions outwardly (mostly towards spaniards at least at the beggining ).
For example one of the main reasons the almohad dynasty collapsed is not the Battle of Las Navas de tolosa as some spaniards like to claim would like to point out but because of the continous battle of over power between the zenta and masmouda as the founder of the movement was masmouda aswell as most of his early followers yet a zenata abd el mumin was the one to get the honey and managed to pass his title to his child which removed the masmouda altogether from leadership....this and the exclusion of the sanhadja who prefered the banu maghnia family inevitably led to a continous struggle for power amongst the warlords.
The people got tired of this eventually and tribes started chosing leaders who claimed arabness and decenet from Muhammad....and we all know how that ended. Arab culture and language being the dominant onr in the maghreb instead of the native one
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail
Very incorrect, my friend. There are so many great devout Muslim historical figures who were proudly Amazigh, such as Tariq ibn Ziyad, conqueror of Iberia, Zainab al Nafwasi, co-ruler of Morocco, and Ibn Buttuta, one of the most well-travelled chroniclers in human history.
@Beholdthehandbeholdthenail tarik bin ziyad, abou qora, khalid al fihri, abdelmoumen koumi, ziri bin mennad, jaafar ketami, ibn toumert, youcef ben tachfin, abo hafs al hintati, yaghmracen ben ziyan, ibn batuta, zainab al nafwasi,ziri bin attia.... i could go on and the list wont finished amazigh reached greatness at the peak in islam nevr before nor after what destroyed us what bano hilal who were not muslims they were pagan merceneries who killed many people when they came by orders of shia fatimids in 11th century, hate the savages hilalis not islam cause they had nothing to do i=with it ( 9olo aslamna la ta9olo ammna inna kanete a3raabo achaddo kofra wa nifa9a ) take it from god not from me
May Allah bless you Ameen !

I am from the Tuareg of Azawad (north Mali) and we speak Tamasheq. I can say that the Tuareg guy in the video barely knows Tamaheq, especially the accent. As he said, he lives in the west, so I believe this is the reason.
That makes sense. I don't speak the first word of Tamasheq but I could tell his accent wasn't natural
He actually isn't taureg, he is just larping as one
Same for the girl, I am from the same region (seaside) she is actually very weak in kabyle, the morrocan guy knows kabyle better than her, I think because of her young age.

Haha same here! 😄
@@SlimShadyOrDieghomari is also an Atlas language thought it’s much more Riffianised
Woow so great.thanks alot bahador for this amazing video.we really appreciate it.im from south of morrocco little bit far away from agadir city. I got some words from touareg tamashek.for kabyle and rif dialect its totally easy to be understand for me.tanmirt bahra.
Good job guys, very interesting!
Touareg sounds so pure, I guess because those tribes are located farther in the south didn't mix with the rest of the world.
From where I am (Morocco) you can hear a lot of Arabic words in every Amazigh dialect, but also the Moroccan dialect (or generally North African Arabic dialects) is just another Amazigh dialect with Arabic vocabulary; so Amazigh dialects from the north do not feel as foreign as the Touareg does !
Twareg is not as pure as people think it is, it was also been influenced by other languages, of course not arabic but other african languages
Yes the tuaregs is pure
You got it totally worng tueregs are the most mixed amazigh population they are a combination of amazigh and sub saharan africans and they have a cast system the original tuaregs look more north africans and still retain that look and the more mixed tuaregs are a low cast
They mixed as hell but they just conserved the language because they are isolated.
They became amazigh because cartage ruled them.
And because they are isolated they managed to conserve the ancient language.
Amongst twareg you can still see some twaregs and southern amazigh that still looks like the rest of North Africans. And not subsaharian.
@@chakir348the original berbers are black, it's ironically the other way
What a great opportunity to bring awareness to our beautiful Tamazight language from all regions. This should happen often and in real life. Keep this going!
I can't wait for you to start. I wondered about this!
This is so beautiful to hear, my husband is also algerian kabyle and i am always fascinated with his language and culture
I am Algerian from Oran and I didn’t understand one word because I am Arabic speaking. But I love my brothers and sisters 🇩🇿❤️
مستعرب
Nice video! I’m Kabyle from Tizi-Ouzou and I understand all what the rifian guy said. Very interesting keep going.
The young man from Morocco is very handsome :)) Great idea, very awesome languages! (Originally from Tizi Ouzou, here.)
This is awesome! Malian Tuareg here! 🇲🇱
Having a standard Amazigh language will facilitate communication between different Amazigh people, but this language should be agreed on by the representatives of all Amazigh people and should be supported by the states where Amazigh people live.
Yeah you berbers have no clue what each other is saying bahahahaha really gets you thinking if you are even the sane people
@@sosaq3841 m’y mother is super fluent and understands them all
@@sosaq3841 it depends on how many words you know
I was waiting for this one since the last *--*
It's interesting how Myles appears to use both the Arabic and French words for 100 (مئة & cent). This whole video was super fascinating. I'm grateful to everyone involved in making this pleasant video. :)
Well done, great to see all of the diversity! Love that Myles spoke slowly, clearly and explained everything. He seems really educated on his culture and traditions! Love the Tuareg culture and people.
I am from Algeria. I speak Arabic. I did not understand a single letter from the words of the Algerian girl, but the Moroccan man was able to understand it despite the difference in the country.
You forgot to say the girl and the guy because both are from Algeria, kabylian and toureg, chame on you not understand languages of your own country but I know because why you guys never interested on tamazight and against it even your school areas !!
@@Espoir86 what makes you think they’re his people?
@@Espoir86 I am not against any language.
Languages were created by God to communicate.
I am Berber, but I was born in an arabized region
My father did not know a single letter of our Berber language. Our old language has disappeared, and we don't know anything about it
How do you want me to learn it ??? I am not Kabyle and neither a Shawi. I was born in a region that has another language, but it has ceased to exist.
What language do you want me to learn as a substitute for the my old language ???
@@internationalstatisticianm3952 Azul, Salam, please my dear brother, don't pay attention to that kind of aggressive person that doesn't represent Berber culture, talking aggressively.
It's a sad story about your language.
Please my dear brother, can you tell me what Berber region your dad is from?
Then I will try to give you some advice inchaAllah
@@Espoir86 Why so aggressive?
Mashallah nice video, regards from Tataouine, Tunisia
Hello! I am Moroccan from the South. I speak Tachlhit; a variety of Tamazight. I had problems understanding all the 3 people in the video, especially the guy from Southern Algeria. We have lots of words in common with the other two but if we meet we'll just have to use some lingua franca to communicate.
Thank you for the video
As a tachelhit speaker too, i dont find the text in kabyle that hard i mean it was understable for me, for the senhaja of srair he said difficult texts but also i did the connexion and the differences between them and us, for the twareg i literally understood 0% of what he said
Lucky you! I could pick out a few words of what the girl from Kabyle said but if she were near me I'd have difficulties communicating with her. Same thing with the Rifi young man.
What's Franca??
@@ju6284A lingua franca is a language used by people from different lingual backgrounds to communicate with each other. English is the lingua franca of the world.
@@tyope964 Tbh the text he said were really easy...
Hello from Brazil. I don't speak Amazigh, but I'm learning Maltese, and I could understand the written from, first sentence of the girl speech. Great.
oh bro we definitely need another Amazigh video
No
@@zakback9937 why ?
@@abdellatifimizar1852 because the guy there is not a Tuareg but an ikelan. He's descendant of slaves and he insulted the Riffians and Kabyles calling them descendant slaves of the Romans and Spanish when the north were barely slaves to them. Theres just imposters loving to make a fake mask over us.
@@zakback9937 what's that have to do with making another amazigh video with other amazigh speakers ?
@@abdellatifimizar1852 people can easily claim to be Amazigh and just lie to represent their own narrative on us. It'd be no different if it was using afro Americans to represent us in these and claiming that they're Amazigh.
hellooo brothers and sisters!! i loved every second of this wonderful video!!! and Now I love Tamazight and its wonderful varieties even mooooooore!! thank you very much !!
Happy to see my language spread among the communities with all my respects from kabyl .tanmirt ♓️

The khel isnt amazigh
The Moroccan bravo, you really love thamazighth, it's so obvious you like to learn about it
you're even giving explanation 👏
I'm an American, researching to play a Tuareg character, and this is just what I needed, thank you! This inspired me so much!
@K Some African-Americans are probably really descended from Tuaregs
I’m proud of being amazigh Berber from Morocco 🇲🇦♊️
Very interesting! I had never heard about that Moroccan dialect!
I am from Tunisia 🇹🇳 and I guessed some words, despite I have never learnt any amazigh .. and in Tunisia we almost lost any amazigh language ..
Because 30% Arabic , 20% French ... rest is mixture
We never spoked this language in our histoiry its pretty normal ...
@@adimsfromthea828 not really, even though Tunisia and Carthage represented a historic and civilisational symbol for a lot of Mediterranean and other powers that existed there, it always had that Berber element in it, especially in its western regions that share a lot of common roots with the Aures region in Algeria and the Berbers of libya. I also know that it still has Berber speaking regions nowadays like the island of Djerba and some tunisian Shawia.
But yeah to say that Tunisia is exclusively a Berber country is not historically accurate, and that sign of Tanit you are using is a perfect example, even though this name has the Berber feminine form like the word Tamazight for example.
Cartage is the origin of amazigh man. North Tunisia and lybia is the origin of amazigh. I can’t believe many of you don’t even know it. Don’t they teach it in your schools or something ?
@@adimsfromthea828ause you have been arabized. And everyone lost their identity. It happens to many countries. So i understand.
They are very few amazigh speakers still For example Ghaddafi in Lybia forbid amazigh to express their identity even by speaking.
Tunisians have changed their langue to a new language. Like some American places that suddenly where colonised by the Portuguese and suddenly abondons they’re original language to the new language (Portuguese).
I love Amazigh people, most of them are staying with us in Ghana 🇬🇭. They ain't Arabs so they fit well in our society.
amazigh is only linguistic and cultural term
there is nothing in genetics named "amazigh"
plus don't get excited too fast because they are the ones who built the slave roads in the Sahara
to enslaves your weak ancestors
@@Skikdii it was Arabs who came from Arabia who started that, you can look it up.
@@justaguy4656 it started with the arrival of Arabs but it was the tuareg Karavaniers who captured and sold african slaves
