The berbers, who also go by the name amazigh, which means "free people," are a large and diverse group of people who live in North Africa.From Egypt to Morocco and down to Mali and Niger in the south, there are between 38 and 50 million people living there.

The most well-known of these groups are the Riffians, Tuaregs, Kabile, Zenata, and Sanhaja, who speak a language called amazigh/tamazigh and have their own alphabet and scripture called tifinag. The Riffians, Tuaregs, Kabile, Zenata, and Sanhaja are the most famous of these groups.

People like the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, French, and others have tried to conquer and control them for a long time, and they have always fought back. Since they are a modern descendant of the medieval moors, they also have a history of conquering and building empires.Still, their fight today is to keep their culture and language alive. 

This is because, even though most people in North Africa are of Amazigh descent, they have become culturally and linguistically Arabized, especially after colonialism and with the rise of Arab nationalism, which led many people to identify as Arabs first, even though ethnic Arabs are a minority.
