[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] The Tuareg and Berbers are not the same. The Tuareg are an ancient African population which mated with the Vandals to form the present Berber population.[/qb][/QUOTE]'Berber' is a linguisto-cultural group encompassing many different ethnicities. The Tuareg or Tamashek is just ONE of those ethnicities! Also the Tuareg have nothing to do with the Vandals. Here is a map with list of the major Berber groups. [IMG]http://d6.img.v4.skyrock.net/2966/35082966/pics/1859545703_small_1.jpg[/IMG] "Saharan Berbers" is a collective label the authors of the map use for the various groups living in the desert mostly in oases areas from the Siwa of western Egypt to the Shila of southeast Morocco, although the Tamashek (Tuareg) themselves are Saharan Berbers who are the largest and most expansive.

Especially when their territories are separated by hundreds of miles of desert. By the way, here is a good webpage that gives some basic info and background on the Tuareg: http://shelf3d.com/i/Tuareg%20people [/QB][/QUOTE]
