An Amazigh Peom says; “I set you free; wherever you go, you won’t find another like me.”

For anyone interested in languages i've this book in french thats like an introduction at a berber language (tachelhit) and i also believe i can find it in italian

I've been going crazy learning about it recently ans something that was very interesting to me is how the berber languages influenced modern arabic spoken in North Africa, for examble the au- in automobile (coming from the french) didn't fit the berber understanding of language and was seen as an article, so they cut it out and say Tumubil 🫠 how cool languages can be

Edit; here's the italian version, both links redirect to the internet archive

ⵣ (Yaz) Freedom, identity of the Amazigh. Iconic symbol representing the free spirit of the Amazigh people

When people hear Africa, they often picture stereotypes—dark skin tones and commonly portrayed traditions. But few truly know the rich and diverse cultures of North Africa, especially that of the Amazigh people.

We are not a monolith. In Tamazgha (North Africa), you’ll find people of all shades—white, brown, and black. Our diversity is what makes us unique. 💫

They call us Berbers, but our true name is Amazigh, which means "The Free People." It’s how our ancestors proudly described themselves. Our homeland is called Tamazgha, and we speak Tamazight, one of the oldest languages in the world—still alive, still spoken, still strong. 🗣️✨

Our flag tells the story of our land: 💙 Blue for the sea 💚 Green for the forests 💛 Yellow for the desert ❤️ And the red symbol "ⵣ" represents freedom, a value rooted deeply in our blood.

We are also known for our deep-rooted feminism. History remembers powerful Amazigh women like: 👑 Queen Dihya, who led fierce resistance against invaders 👑 Tin Hinan, the queen of the Tuareg 📚 Fatma Al-Fihri, who founded the world's first university in Fez

Our culture is rich with vibrant tattoos, beautiful language, and centuries of resilience.

While the world marks the year 2025, for us, it is 2975—and every year, we celebrate the victory of our Amazigh king Shah Chanak over Pharaoh Ramses II in Egypt. 🎉

We are Amazigh. We are the Free People. ⴰⵣⵓⵍ (Azul) from Tamazgha!

In French, one word for a joint/blunt/spliff is "teh" [tɛh], coming from Tamazight "taɣma", meaning "thigh, butt". According to French linguist Aurore Vincenti, the semantic shift seems to be that a nice ass can get you as high or mesmerised as a well-loaded blunt
