You might have Guanche ancestry, perhaps? Southern Portuguese have an unusually high percentage of African ancestry as well. Cristiano Ronaldo maternal Grandmother was from Cape Verde, if I recall correctly, she migrated to Madeira. That would make him 1/16 African, which possibly the reason his son is so dark skinned.

However many people misundertsand haplogroup testing, they automatically think if someone has haplogroup E-M81 he is a Berber or if he has J1c he is a Arab, but thats untrue. Non Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81, many Berbers nowdays have haplogroup G and many Arabs have other haplogroups like haplogroup T, this has to do with neolithic culture migrations, many Berbers have haplogroup G because in the neolithic period the early European farmers mixed with our ancestors( the Iberomaurusian and Capsian Culture ), same story for the Arabs, if a Arab doesn't have haplogroup J1c it doesnt mean he is not of Arab origin, it's most likely that he got his haplogroup from the neolithic period. By the way mixed race people who aren't pure bredded Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81 but it still doens't make them Berber because their origin is still mixed and they are still mix race people. And!! did you know E-M81 was also present in the Levant, it probaly came from the Mushabian traits that the Natufians took and spread it around the Levant, thats why E-M81 isn't called the Berber marker anymore since it was more widespread than people tought, Syrian Arabs could have also spread some E-M81 into Africa when they invaded North Africa Autosomal DNA/Ancestory DNA testing is very inaccurate, have you ever wonderd why DNA companies show different results from each other, also if you gonna upload your results into Gedmatch your results will be come out differnetly, if you have 90% so called north african dna it can be 40% if you upload it on Gedmatch, and it's only a tiny fraction of your DNA Btw Myheritage is the most cheapest and fakest dna test company(it's the most used one by North Africans) Like you and other Imazighen & North Africans you misunderstand genetics

Anyone got any information to share as to the languages spoken BEFORE Berber in the Maghreb? Surely there have been some observations made by linguists about possible substrata in the modern languages or traces preserved in toponymy?!

there isn't no much study even about old-lybian ; but personally I think it's an extinct branch of Afro-Asiatic. Hope the Pan Arab governments fall for a new non oppressive one so that historical studies could be done on the area .

@Yo the thing that those common characteristic are basically Islamic heritage from the many caliphatsles and Islamic state throughout Africa and Asia ,and no pan Arabism is an ideology that isn't dead today , it's in every textbook and every media channel in every country that's under the Arab league,just today it got way closer to liberalism than socialism like the last century because of changing world order that's why it's trying to incorporate now many of non Arab ethnicities into what's called Arab-Islamic identity (more liberal pan Arabism).

Wasn't Kabyle (the language not tribe) around only post 800s? The tribe probably been there forever mix of other tribes or something I dunno a Kabyle could probably correct me. But i thought the language was only around in the A.D?

That's what I thought too. the first for of kabyle(the people) was the Confederate of the five tribes as a coalition against Byzantine forces. but to be honest studies about Tamazight (especially about Kabylia) are filled with corruption as all of them are for a pushing some sort of political agenda (especially separatism and anti- Islam) that's why I take them with a grain of salt .

The Quinquegentiani were a Classical age Amazigh/Berber tribal confederation. Inhabiting the lands between the cities of Saldae and Rusuccuru, a region which is now known as Kabylia. Their territory laid at the eastern border of the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, and although they were officially under Roman rule, they acted very autonomously. In AD 253, the Quinquegentiani, who had formed a confederation with the Bavares and the Fraxinenses, two other Berber/Amazigh tribes from the region, started attacking and pillaging Roman and Roman-aligned settlements in Numidia. These hostilities led to a Roman intervention, but because of more urgent troubles, such as the death of Emperor Aemilianus and the imperial succession, the war lasted for a decade and the Romans finally managed to restore order in AD 262. The tribal confederation was then disbanded and the tribes were driven back to their native lands. The Quinquegentiani once again rebelled against Roman rule in AD 289. This time, they were once again backed by the Bavares. The rebellion was successful at first, but in 297, the Roman forces of Maximianus Herculius started a bloody offensive, which drove the rebels back to their native lands in the Atlas and Grand Kabyle Mountains; however, Maximianus wasn't satisfied with this, and in early 298 he invaded their native lands to inflict a bigger punishment upon the rebels; by using scorched earth tactics and by killing as many as he could, he supposedly drove the majoirity of the Quinquegentiani into the Sahara. By spring 298, the war was concluded, and the Quinquegentiani disappeared from Roman records. Among the many legends that Kabylia has, one in particular has often been the starting point for research on the history of Greater Kabylia. Indeed, it is said that the first inhabitant of Djurdjura was a giant. This one would have had five sons who, once grown up, would be at the origin of five families. These five families would be at the origin of the five tribes, which, joined together in confederation, would have fought against the Roman domination. Quinquegentians were divided into 5 tribes: 1° The Massissenses, which we identify with the Msisna or Imsissen, on the right bank of the Soumam. 2° The Tindenses, who would have occupied the territories of the Fenaïa, the Aït-Oughlis and the Aït-Ameur. 3° The Isaflenses, which are believed to be the AitI flissen nowadays. 4° The Jubaleni, or mountain people, who would be the Zouaoua. 5° The Jesalenses, who would have occupied the country west of the Zouaoua. The Aït Fraoussen tribe is one of the Amazigh/Berber tribes in Kabylia nowdays. Its current territory extends on the edge of the Sebaou, on the foothills of Djurdjura. It encompasses about 25 villages including Djemâa-Saharidj and Mekla for the most popular. When one studies the history of Kabylia and particularly of Greater Kabylia, it is impossible not to be struck by the feats of arms of this tribe which strongly marked the region during antiquity and much of the Middle Ages. It seems indeed that they can be linked to the Fraxinenses, a turbulent tribe mentioned in the region by ancient authors. Faraxen is the romanized name of the Amazigh/Berber tribe the Fraoussen. The Fraoussen who settled in the second century in Greater Kabylia, were famous for having revolted against the Romans in 253 AD; the name Faraxen is also given to the chief of the tribe during this revolt. The name Quinquegentiani disappeared from Roman records, instead a new name appeared in the Roman records, the Romans started to call the Imazighen/Berbers of Kabylia not Quinquegentiani anymore, but Jubalenes. The Jubalenes called themselves Igawawen. When the muslims came to North Africa, they started to call them Zwawa/ Zouaoua, according to Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Hazm, the Zwawa/ Zouaoua were part of the Kutama, however many scholars don’t agree with this, same goes for the theory that says Zwawa/ Zouaoua belong to the Zenata. The Kabyle Imazighen/Berbers who speak far-eastern kabyle, also known as Tasaḥlit is considered as a separate language by some according to Ethnologue. It is mutual intelligibility with Far-western Kabyle and is difficult to absent. Later the word Zwawa/ Zouaoua was replaced by the Arabic word Qabail or in Amazigh/Berber tongue Taqbaylit, and when the French came they started to call them Kabyles, because of this the Imazighen/Berbers of Kabylia, are calling themselves now Iqbayliyen.
