 | | In part two, we have exhibited some experiences of Tamazight teaching both in Morocco and Algeria, and we have found that all these attempts face many problems as a result of the lack of the governments' support. | | | II- The experiences of Tamazight teaching in Morocco: The teaching of Tamazight language began in Morocco from the beginning of the last century with some official institutions like the "AZROU COLLEGE" but after the independence, everything has changed. | | | This orientation should aim at establishing true and democratic bilingualism (Tamazight / Arabic; Tamazight / Spanish- in the Canary Islands-Tamazight / French- in the sub-Saharan countries). |

| | Morocco's Berbers Battle to Keep Their Culture |
| | Morocco's Berbers are "people in their own country who don't exist," complains Mahjoubi Aherdan, the charismatic leader of the National Popular Movement, a political party that represents rural Moroccans, many of whom are Berber. | | | But the government has resisted calls for recognition of Tamazight as an official language of Morocco, fearing that the crusade will spawn a separatist movement. | | | Some militants are pushing for a political party exclusively for Berbers, while moderates worry that it would be interpreted as separatist, allowing the Berber movement to be written off. |

| | Abstract |
| | Tamazight, a Berber variety spoken in central Morocco, has two different strategies to express sentential negation similar in this respect to other Berber dialects reported in Chaker (1996), Nait-Zerrad (1994) among others. | | | Touareg (a Berber variety spoken in Mali, and parts of Niger), and Tachlhit (a dialect spoken in the south of Morocco), are the only Berber dialects, that I know of so far, which use only one negation element, as illustrated in (9) and (10) respectively. | | | Therefore, Berber dialects have been divided into two groups, a group that uses only one negation (Touareg and Tachlhit), and a second group which uses two negation elements (Tamzight, Taqbaylit, Chaoui and Tarifit). |

| | Once again, Tamazight found itself a victim of the government's political program of denial. | | | In doing so, the government has found a way of putting, for the third time on the back burner, the people's demand for the respect and promotion of the Amazigh culture and the teaching of Tamazight. | | | And the government has no plan for Tamazight. |

| | The answer to all likeliyhood is NO. One cannot say much about the real plans of the ministry of Education in Morocco, as long as there are no documents accessible to the public, which would outline the language policy of Morocco, it is very hard to speculate on what the future will be like. | | | Mother tongue education of Tamazight has become a fact in Morocco starting Spetember 15, 2003. | | | The book is published by Aksant Uitgeverij(Amsterdam), and is also available at Adrar at this e-mail |

| | Writing Berber Languages |
| | Apparently it was also used occasionally for a few poems in Middle Atlas Tamazight and in Tarifit; however, the American anthropologist Carleton Coon noted (in 1931!) that most of the Berber books in Morocco even as far north as the Rif were in Tachelhit. | | | For Libya or the Canaries, I have no idea; but it is interesting to note that Tawalt has begun using Tifinagh for some purposes. | | | Knappert alludes to Zenaga writing, which, in light of Mauritania's extensive zaouia system, would seem probable on the face of it; however, I have only come across it in French linguistic works. |

| | They were accused of holding banners in the Berber language and shouting slogans for the recognition of Tamazight in the constitution.26 Such repression demonstrates the vulnerability of the Berber culture and its advocates. | | | Despite these changes in the Moroccan constitution that were in fact institutionalized, the government continues to suppress the Tamazight language as a symbol of Berber identity and cultural rights. | | | Berbers in Morocco perceive their identity to be threatened primarily by marginalization and exclusion from access to education and media exposure in the country. |
