Can Amazighs Understand Each Other?

[@BahadorAlast]

A good Algerian friend of mine who lives here in Canada was going to be a part of this video and represent Kabyle. However, something came up last minute so she couldn't join us. While I understand that it would have been better if she was a part of it, rest assured that we will do more Amazigh videos in the future and certainly include Kabyle!

Uf... I hope in Canary Islands you are planning to do with a serious scholar or simply with a non-professional normal person, but equally informed and serious, because canarian amazigh dialects were lost at XVI century, we have only a fragmentary knowledge of it (and also a minimal survival in canarian spanish) and specially because there are some fringe theorists minoritary groups claiming to "speak" a totally fake/invented version of guanche. They are a tiny group of people, they don't represent canarian nationalism and much less canarians in general. There are similar groups in many other places of the world were a language was lost but a people identity remains (Puerto Rico, indigenous northern Argentina and Chile or Andalusia, to cite some examples very similar to Canary Islands in when, how and by who were conquered and assimilated). I can feel empathy for these groups sadness about the lost of a language I feel the same way about my own identity, but lying and creating a clumsy language by mixing true historic features or words with other modern variants and totally invented parts is wrong and doesn't help in any culture development.

Thank you for this video.. Tarifit is a Zenatti language, like Nefusa in Libya, Chaouia in Algeria and the Tunisian Amazigh dialect. We can understand it good. Tachelhit and taqbaylit is different, we can understand some words but we cant communicate with eachother.

[@averestless]

Finally somebody explains it. Many (even in this video) find it weird that some Amazighs from a country would better understand a dilect from another country over another dilect from their own country, ignorin the fact that the language family has by thousands years predated any current political border :). Indeed Rifi, Chawiya are both from the Zenata sub-group that spans the northern part of North Africa. Chelha, Senhaja & Masmouda (Atlas) are other groups, Kabyle is sometimes considered Zenati and sometimes its own group... After all, they all come from a same language that was spoken across most of North Africa, maybe up to Eastern Libya and maybe not including Egypt (Siwis are said to have migrated to the Oasis from the west)...

[@mocro4life5713]

Totally false, zenatti and sanhaji don’t mean anything today since tarifit and taqvaylit are really closed to each one. Listen to the riffian guy at the end, he said that he can understand taqvaylit’s song of Idir, that shows zenatti and sanhaji don’t mean anything nowadays, it was the case several centuries ago, but not today.

[@ibibo3146]

@@BeyonDemm One of the speakers suggested it was a forceful attempt by the Arabs to stiffle the native Amazigh. Most of the comments here suggest the same. If you want to make it about Islam may be you need to read your history and that of the Arabs before commenting. Nothing suggests the Arab/ Turkish incursion into North, East, or Central Africa was a peaceful one. You must learn to separate between religion, culture, history, and identity.

Very good initiative, I really enjoyed watching the video.

Having mixed with both Ichawiyen and Ichenwiyen when i was at University in Algiers, i found it very easy to understand each other. The differences we have are similar to Arab people or Americans, Australians and British people, so keep up the good work and once again THANEMIRTH, MANY THANKS for bringing these people together.

[@bmwii13]

the word for “to eat” that they used, presumably is a cognate to the Hausa wors “ci”, no? I know they’re somewhat distantly relates. Anyway, I used to work with a couple guys from Algeria who spoke one of the Amazigh languages, but when i asked which one they said it was “just Berber” like theres only one. So ive been very curious about how mutually intelligible they really are. Fascinating video.

[@FoufouBe]

there used to be a dialect continuum in north africa, from western egypt all the way to Canary Islands. Unfortunately, now, there is only pocket of places where amazigh (aka berber) is still spoken. Arabic has replaced amazigh in the sense that now, we have a dialect continuum of arabic from the middle east to north africa : the closer you are, the more likely you will understand other people.

[@wachuku1]

Indeed, the word for “(to) eat” is thought to be a cognate of the Hausa word “ci” inherited from Proto-Afro-Asiatic. Also, Berber languages are rather closely related, but still distant enough for mutual intelligibility to be low between them. In spite of that, it’s very common for them to be simply referred to as “Berber,” even in linguistic literature. That phenomenon isn’t unique, though. A people can see themselves as part of the same ethnicity and believe they are speaking the same language, even though they may speak distinct languages. The same thing can be seen with Dogon people, for instance. So, even the perception of what one’s ethnicity and/or culture can at times be fluid.
