@@emuka-art Yup, the Berber languages have been influenced by a TON of languages. Now days you can hear a lot of influence from Moroccan Darija (Arabic) and French (Since that is still a required language in Morocco)

when I hear Berber speaking, I immerse myself deeply in the history of humanity.

I met a Berber taxi driver in Morocco who we ended up hiring to take us everywhere! He invited us to his home for mint tea in the Berber village (?) And diagnosed my nausea as being ill from the spices in the food I fell in love with in Marrakech. He would say (phonetically) 'kat-kat ber-ber' Does anyone know what that means? Oh, he also helped me when I was attacked by a cute monkey who stole my brand new sunglasses on a Cafe roof top! 🤣 I LOVE Morocco! I grew up in Dallas but have lived all over and I have to say Morocco, Chile and Spain are my favorite places.

I kinda heard a few Darja words in there but it was a nice presentation of one of the many Berber languages. Also I appreciate the subtitles and may I request adding a Tamaziɣt one either in Tifinagh or Latin? It would fulfil this well done video. Good work and thank you Mr. Jamal.

It is only natural for languages to get many loan words, and I am sure that the Moroccan Arabic also uses many Berber words. Anyway, really interesting video. I wish I could learn a Berber language. I am from the Canary Islands, and the native population here before the Spaniards came were Berber too, but the language they spoke is gone now, and all we have left from it is couple of words and the name of places. The current population today is a mixture of Spaniards and other European nationalities, mixed to certain extent with the aboriginal populations.

Oh, by the way no such thing as pure anything, all us humans have a variety of ancestors and especially in the Mediterranean basin where historically pretty much everyone married and procreated with everyone else. For example, Portuguese and Spanish armies disappeared into Morocco in the medieval period and never came back assimilated into local culture. Old berber folk stories and oral tradition attest to such occurrences.

@@jamalbenhamou It's a primary language family, like Indo-European, Austronesian, Uralic, or Turkic. And the point of divergence between branches of a language family can be literally thousands of years ago. As my previous example, both Hindi and Spanish, as well as Greek and Armenian, are Indo-European languages. Just because two languages use the same script, does not mean they're closely related (case in point: Arabic, Somali, and Malay use similar script, yet one is Semitic, and the other is Cushitic and Austronesian respectively. Similar case for Old Hungarian and Old Turkic. Languages (non-constructed ones at least), developed and diverged over time, sometimes literal thousands of years. And unless you outright stated that Berber languages are some kind of ancient constructed language, then it most likely belong in a language family, with other languages that has similar grammatical features. Fun fact: have you ever heard someone speaks Amhara? They sound so different from Arabic, yet both of them are Semitic Languages If it all just Arab imperialism to you, then Why other languages families existed? Why not just make it one big "Arab Language Family" instead of classifying languages into multiple families? Why isolates like Yukaghir and Burushaski exist? And Why the languages of Russia is mostly either Turkic, Uralic, or Tungusic instead of just lumping them all as Russian dialects under Slavic languages? More information about it can be found in that wikipedia article I cite earlier (that you may or may not refuse to read because of reasons only God and yourself know)

Half of it sounds like arabic...

No comprende, señor! 🤔🙁

I don't believe this is a very pure Berber. I heard a lot of Moroccan Arabic. It would be better to get someone from the countryside without as many urban influences.

@@jamalbenhamou Linguistically that is fine. And thank you for sharing. My wife is from Casa, so I caught the Derija. But, for example, I had a friend who was in the Peace Corps. They didn't send them to Casa to learn the purest Moroccan. They sent them to El Jedida where there is more Arabic and less French spoken. What part of the country are you from? My father-in-law is from Ouarzazate and speaks Berber, but he is not of Berber origin himself. By the way, thank you for sharing and responding. In actuality, there isn't such a thing as pure language in Morocco. If you really want to speak like Moroccans do, you code switch from French to Arabic and maybe to Berber and speak whichever language seems appropriate to the subject. Most educated people can speak and write properly in at least two languages. I'm an American who has studied Arabic and is fluent in French. Languages are a hobby.

He is not referring to your genetics but linguistics. But we must not use loan words brother, we need to retain our language. Using loan words replaces our language, we must not encourage this. Especially in the past 10 years, I’ve discovered how institutionalised Arabic in Sous school has arabised our younger generation much more. Parents must do better at home. Otherwise we failed. Thank you for sharing the video, it was lovely.
