[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mazigh: [QB] super car, however you can perfectly post nonsense, i will reply that. the berbers are the indegenous people of north africa from the downhistory, they inhabited north africa from the canaray islands to the western borders of the ancient egypt, and from the southern mideterranean to niger, mali and chade. they speak the berber language, wich is a part of the afro-asiatic language. this language is called "tamazight" in the language of the berbers. because of the distance between the berbers the berber language changed to several berber dialects, like as: the germanic language. the berbers call themselves "imazighen" in the berber languages/tamazight. the name amazigh is probably derived from the name of the ancient berber/libyan tribe "maxyans". those maxyans were called by herodotus, and also by other ancient writes with simple differences. some scholars believe that the maxyans of herodotus are the same meshwesh of the egyptians. by the way, sheshonq I belongs to the meshwesh tribe. the berbers inhabited north africa from more thatn 5000 b.c. their ancestors are mainly the capsians and the ibero-maurisians. thus, they doesn't have a homogenous race, like as all the ethnicities of the world. but they are one ethnicity, all the berbers call themselves "imazighen". they were known to the ancient egyptians as "tehenu", "temhu", "libou/ribou" , "meshwesh" "kahak" and other unimportant tribes. they were known generally known as "the libyans" to the greeks. the name "libyans" didn't mean the modern country libya like as you think, but it refered to all the country of the berbers/imazighen/libyans, thus from morocco to the nile valley. the name libyan is derived from the name of the libyan tribe "libou/ribou". the name libou is evetually a berber name according to the historian mostapha bazma. the romans refered to the berbers as africans, moors, numidians. the arabs called them "barbar" from wich the modern name "berber" is derived. the arabs and the berbers/imazighen believe that berber is the son "mazigh" the son of "ham" (the ketting is variable). after the islamic invasion, the arab ideology became dominant, and that led to the arabization of the berbers/imazighen, and their tongue survived in isolated regions like as the desert or the mountains. today, many of them are fighting for the amazigh identity: the guaches [derivied from the berber word "wan chinet"= that is from tenerife] in the canary islands [named after a berber/amazigh tribe : canarii], the riffains [named after the rif mountains], the shluh in the atlas [named after the berber/libyan/amazigh god atlas], the souss-berbers who are named after the sous region in the south of morocco [it is derived from the name of the moroccan city morrakesh, and it was founded by a berber dynasty: almoraviedn, morrakesh means "the country of god" in the berber language/tamazight], the kabyles [called in arabic, it means "tribes"] the shawiya in the aures, the mzab, and the tuared in algeria too. in tunesia they are surviving in matamata and djerba.... they are forming one ethnicity, one several sub-names, but the most berbers/imazighen are calling themselves "imazighen". therefor, you have to adjust you nonsense that you use as data, to get correct conlusions.
