Here I present: Naceur Jabouja, “Introduction to Tamazight Language: A Guide to Amaziah Culture”, 2024, PART TWO (2).
INTRODUCTION.
The distinction between the terms Naceur Jabouja uses is important.
First, “Berber” as a term refers “geographic group” shown ATOP on a pair of maps.
Second, “Amaziah” as a term refers to the “cultural-anthropology” of the MAGHREB shown on the map ABOVE.
Third, “Tamazight” (Central Atlas) is one of the ten (10) languages of the Berber-speakers shown BELOW.
Finally, the “language tree” of the Afro-Asiatic linguistic phylum is shown BENEATH with the split of Semitic-Berber dividing between 5,000-6,000 BC.
