Azul! Isem-iw ḏ Andy, Mak tellid?
Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Taberqit language.

The Taberqit language, also known as Cyrenaican Tamazight or Jebalian, is an eastern Amazigh language facing the threat of extinction with only a few hundred speakers left in Cyrenaica. Efforts are being made to preserve this linguistically rich heritage. Taberqit retains certain phonetics from Proto-Berber, which are lost in other Amazigh variants. It shares similarities with other eastern Amazigh dialects such as Awjili and Siwi but is notable for its phonetic complexity.

The traditional clothing of the Berqian people reflects their rich cultural heritage and commitment to preserving their unique identity. Their attire's intricate designs, vibrant colors, and exquisite craftsmanship visually represent the deep-rooted connections between their clothing and culture, showcasing the Berqian community's collective history and Amazigh identity.

The people of Cyrenaica, who speak this dialect, maintain traditional Amazigh customs, including distinctive culinary practices with dishes like Couscous and Shakshouka. Despite a history of foreign invasions and cultural impositions, they have preserved a unique regional identity rooted in Amazigh heritage. Historically, the Amazigh language prevailed until the Arab conquests led to the gradual adoption of Arabic. Cultural practices include traditional Amazigh tattoos and clothing, notably the bernous.

This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented.
