Introduction
Tamazight is a Berber language spoken in Morocco. The name Tamazight, which traditionally referred specifically to Central Morocco Tamazight, is being increasingly used for this standard Berber, or even for Berber as a whole, but usage is not consistent, and many Berber do not identify themselves as Tamazight.
