Berber speaking community, frequently in the news, lives in

The term “Berber” (Amazigh) refers to the indigenous peoples and languages of North Africa; historical sources note Punic and Berber presence across the region, establishing them as North African groups [1]. Contemporary demographic and rights-focused materials identify the Amazigh as a large indigenous population spread across Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, with Algeria home to a substantial Amazigh community and active cultural institutions for Amazigh rights [2]. Authoritative reference works on Berber/Amazigh languages also describe the Berber language family as native to North Africa, reinforcing that Berber-speaking communities are primarily located in countries like Algeria rather than Afghanistan, Argentina or Australia [3].
