A name in a Berber language.
Note that Berber is not a language, but a language group. This tag may refer to Standard Moroccan Berber, a standardized language developed by the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture (IRCAM) in Morocco by combining features of Tashelhit, Central Atlas Tamazight, and Tarifit, the three major Amazigh languages in Morocco. This language is typically referred to as Berber. For this language is better to use name:zgh=* with the standard language code "zgh".
Berber languages include:
- name:zgh=* – name in Standard Moroccan Berber
- name:kab=* – name in Kabyle
- name:tzm=* – name in Central Atlas Tamazight
- name:shi=* – name in Shilha
- name:taq=* – name in Tamasheq
- name:rif=* – name in Tarifit
Note that Berber languages are primarily spoken and not typically written.
