Proto-Berber language sounds

[@rosahassad199]

this seems to be a pretty modern language (similar to chleuh and/or tamasheq), can you tell me the sources you used ?

[@user-abacad]

The paragraphs given are in universal phonetics using the universal table of phonetics. It is not written in tifinagh. The point of the video is to show u how Amazigh sounds

[@rosahassad199]

@user-abacad the script used isn't the problem here, the problem is: is this is not some ancient language, this is a nowadays living one

[@user-abacad]

@rosahassad199 the written symbols were reconstructed, yes. The spoken language has lived on yeah but of course developed from ancient proto-berber to current Amazigh just like any ancient lge just like proto-Semetic languages for example which date back to 5000 bc, be they Hebrew or Arabic, they've lived on till today. This is the case for any population that wasn't oppressed and wasn't assimilated in a negative way. Amazigh people were strong self sufficient communities scattered throughout North Africa and during centuries they have come across the Arab civilization without them being oppressed or marginalised bcz Muslims simply do not do that. They don't oppress. This is one reason why Islam spread. But there was a reliance on the use of Arabic script by berbers because their tifinagh (which is similar to ancient egyptian quite simplistic/primitive in nature) had not been in use for a long time so when Arabs came automatically they started using Arabic specifically in writing. Then in the 20th century, they tried to reconstruct it based on ancient in cravings found on rocks some were written horizontally just like Chinese some from R to left and some symbols from L to right. They used those symbols and had to add more symbols (added/fabricated) to the alphabet to accommodate all sounds in Amazigh. The spoken language was preserved to a large extent

Where did you find these texts? If i may ask Also can you do a video about proto slavic?

[@user-ow1qs7jo7f]

Very similar to Chaoui of Aures

[@mazighislam992]

very strange,. as a native amazigh speaker and researcher, i have compared many dialects and together with ancient tribal names, personal names and toponyms i have also reconstructed allot of words, and to be honest, this has allot allot allot of incorrect words, the most simple word like Aman should have been reconstructed to Ma or A-Ma, and this claims Haman which is just the Chaoui pronounciation and no other amazigh group, which indicates a local variety. and there are many more words which seems to have been just pulled from the sky/made up. the original words for bread for example is N-Gu and not Bur.

He lost me when he used Haww instead of Tafunast for cow. Afunas is one of the words you find in almost every Amazigh dialect, as well as the t-word-t female rule

[@revenger8744]
