Historical Dictionary of the Berbers

<p align="left">The Phoenician colonies in North Africa started out as peaceful, trading presence among the Amazigh original inhabitants of the region. These colonies, though initially inhabited by Phoenicians from the eastern Mediterranean, became a mix of the two peoples as they intermarried with the local Amazigh. The Amazigh, as well as the Punic Phoenicians, who survived the Roman subjugation of the region are credited with preserving the Phoenician language up till the time of Saint Augustine in the 5th century. Further, traces of the Phoenician alphabet are evident in the Tamazight (Berber) alphabet called Tifinagh... <br /><br />The presence of the Berber in North Africa today is a living proof that the "Arab World" is not made up of 325 million Arabs. In fact, pan-Arabism is an unfounded heresy forced down the throats of people conquered and subjugated beginning with the advent of the Arab conquest in the 7th century. The Amazigh, much like the overwhelming majority of the people of this (Arab) "world," belong to a wide variety of ethnic groups that are different in blood, tradition, language, literature, art and history, and should not be lumped together as a single people.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/sc5h4movx">http://depositfiles.com/files/sc5h4movx</a></p>

<p align="left">May i count on your forgiveness for my weak English? <br /><br />I have two remaks:<br />I prefer the word "settlement" on "colonies", since the Phoenician arrival in North Africa was peaceful, as far as i know.<br />The specialits have no proofs for the Phoenician roots of the Berber script. It is nothing else than the name that inspires the most people of the Phoenician origin of the Berber script. <br /><a href="http://www.mondeberbere.com/langue/tifinagh/tifinagh_origine.htm">http://www.mondeberbere.com/langue/tifinagh/tifinagh_origine.htm</a><br /><br />I would also refer to my geniuos remak <img alt=" " src="http://www.wataonline.net/site/uploads/smil3dbd4e5e7563a.gif" /><br />Once, the ancestors of the Imazighen called the "Meshwesh" obtained the leadership in Ancient Egypt and perpetuated their names as rulers. One of those names was "Tafnakht".<br />This name is remarkable to me, since, I got this name by reducing the name tifinagh to a singular form. The gh and kh are interchangeable, like "ingha", naqqakht" (Tarifit), the verbum is "negh" (or nagh?) (to kill).<br /><br />It would be interesting to know what the name "tafnakht" could mean. In any case, this background is <u>enough to me</u> to "weaken" the claim of Salem Chaker.<br /><br />Best regards,</p>

الامة العربية ليست سرابا وانما هي حقيقة ولكن كما قال احدهم حدودها هي حدود استعمال العقال وما سوى ذلك امم اخرى الانباط والسريان والاقباط يشكلون امما قائمة بذاتها اما المصريون والامازيغ فهم امم كبرى في الديمغرافيا والجغرافيا
والعرب الحقيقيين لا يختلفون مع هذه الفكرة ولكن المؤدلجين والمسيسين والحالمين يرون غير ذلك
وماذا لو حافظت كل امة بخصوصياتها وبنت هذه الامم تضامنها وتعاونها على الحقائق لا على الاحتواء والطمس اكيد سيختلف الامر ولن يشعر احد انه اقل من الاخر او انه مطموس عنوة
وعندها سيكون التضامن اقوى لانه بني على اساس متين
