Standard Moroccan Amazigh, also known as Standard Moroccan Tamazight, is a standardized language created by the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture (IRCAM) in Morocco. It blends elements from Tashelhit, Central Atlas Tamazight, and Tarifit, the three main Amazigh languages in Morocco. This language has held official status in Morocco since 2011.
Tamazight has been written in various scripts, including Arabic, the Berber Latin alphabet, and Tifinagh. In 2003, IRCAM selected Tifinagh, specifically Neo-Tifinagh, as the orthography for Standard Moroccan Amazigh as part of its standardization efforts. This choice was met with controversy, as it was seen as a political decision rather than a practical one. Most Moroccan Tamazight speakers do not use Tifinagh.
The Berbers in Morocco are an indigenous civilization with a history spanning over 20,000 years. Referred to as the Amazigh, which means 'Free Men,' modern-day Berbers in Morocco are descendants of various nomadic and sedentary tribes, predominantly living in rural areas, and they have endured multiple invasions throughout their history.

I hope indigenous languages of North Africa like Amazigh and Coptic would have a more common usage in North Africa.

Amaziɣt is still an official language with Arabic in Morocco while Coptic is only taught in church in Egypt, hope Egypt revive indigenous language like Morocco

@@AsylumDaemon I don't give a crap about my culture. Berber culture is literally the "Made In China" version of the great and original ethiopian culture. It is also about some dudes taking habits of desert lifestyle after being forced out their lands by more technologically advanced civilisations, or mixing with them after accepting submission. We are like the mayas but in a desert and mountains. Berber cultures are, normally, soon to disappear in the coming years as more mixed marriages occurs in north africa between berbers and arabs, with berbers adopting arab lifestyle by doing this for education and a better standard of living than the other way. Yeah, overall, better becoming arab than berber.

Yes I was eager to listen how it sounds after seen this language wasn't lost by arabic 😅 and after seeing a flag, I remembered the letter for have seeing it before arround berebers.
Fascinating language.. it really sounds complex but also very light like if one is breathing the language rather than speaking it.
As a Riffian i recognised the following words; From the greetings & phrases list 1:46 we use Azul/Salam, Mamec Taǧid, Labas, Attas, War ǧi min xef, Waxxa, Tiwca, kerr zik, Texsex cem/cek From the vocabulary list at 2:46 we use all except the word Azzar. We say Accewaf for hair. Of the list starting at 3:04 we don’t use any of the neoligism used for the clothing and for palm of the hand we use tisi n ufus/tareqqa n ufus. Of the list starting at 3:15 we only use taddart. Of the list at 3:26 we only use aman and tabatat. At 3:39 we only use taxsayt and aɣerabbu At 3:50 we use muc, aydi, izem, aksil. For cheetah/leopard we use aɣiras and for Gazelle/antilope we use taɣat n wezɣar. For the rest we use Arabic loanwords.

Funnily enough, Amazigh is taken to mean "free man". Herbert did his research!
Nice, a Berber language. These languages are so interesting.
It’s a relief to know that the Tifinagh script displays both consonants and vowels, wherein the vowels especially bear a fixed meaning and aren’t as orally ambiguous as they are in an abjad script characteristic of Arabic or Hebrew where you otherwise have ‘to know’ the flow of the correct pronunciation in a written word without being able to rely on a logical spelling convention to interpret it correctly upon first sight. In addition, I have an honour to make: I love the Tamazight language!❤️

@@skepyas written vowels are a recent introduction to the language. In reality you'd also have to know where they are. In fact the Berber languages are characterized by swallowed vowels. You can even hear this in Maghreb Arabic dialects like Darija spoken in Morocco.

@@JinTheAceStar So what is the subject here? What are we talking about ? Proto-Amazigh ? Proto-Tifinagh ? Deciphering ancient Tifinagh written on some artefacts ? Absolutely not. So stop with irelevant remarks. Arabics dialects have nothing to do here. The majority of the amazigh countries agreed on the so called Neo-Tifinagh for a while yet. We do have vowels. And I can guarantee you that in Kabyle we don't swallow vowels. For the Amazigh dialects of Morocco I heard so far I perfectely heard the vowels : a e i u -> Itri, Itran, Tafukt, Imi, Amuc, Afrux, agmar etc etc All the writings are with vowels everywhere. No vowel is omitted at any place in the word. I don't know why but each time it deals with amazigh (language, writing) we always get someone to overcomplicate the things. Please keep it simple.

Better to always use Amazigh - not Berbers.
Would love to see Elfdalian compared to either Old Norse, Icelandic, or Faroese.
What you described in the intro are Amazigh speakers who still retain the language. Most Moroccans are actually of Amazigh descent, even if they don't speak any variety of Tamazight, and many of them mistakenly consider themselves Arabs (back in the day it was considered a "great honor" to affiliate oneself with Arabs, especially a line descending from prophet Mohammed).

Yeah, it's hybrid rather than "artificial", you do mix the vocabulary from the 3 main Moroccan Amazigh variants relying on often used words, what makes them far than each other is the way of pronouncing and vocabulary, but Grammarly they are the same even if you go to Lybia, I mean how you make your statements still going to be the same.
It reminds me of Turkic languages like Tatar sort of. Perhaps nomadic people tend to speak agglutinative languages.
