Découvrez les bases d’une grammaire unifiée pour une des langues les plus anciennes du bassin méditerranéen. Cet ouvrage didactique de Chérif Arbouz est un pas majeur vers la normalisation des règles d’écriture d’une langue demeurée jusqu’à présent, essentiellement orale. La langue amazighe ou berbère est parlée depuis plus de 2000 ans dans toute l’Afrique du Nord, le Sahara et une partie du Sahel. Elle se décline aujourd’hui en une trentaine de variétés et rassemble environ quarante millions de locuteurs. L’écriture de la langue a subi quant à elle une érosion progressive. Au gré des influences politiques, culturelles ou commerciales, souverains et lettrés se sont exprimés, à l’écrit, en grec, latin, arabe ou français ; si bien qu’aujourd’hui, l’alphabet des origines, connu sous le nom de « tifinagh », c'est-à-dire « les lettres », ne subsiste plus que dans les régions de l'extrême sud algérien. La reconnaissance de la langue amazighe comme langue officielle dans les constitutions du Maroc (2011) et d’Algérie (2016) affirme son poids dans deux pays où vivent près de 80% des berbérophones. Pour Chérif Arbouz, c’est l’occasion rêvée de relever le défi de l’écriture et de la codification grammaticale de la langue amazighe. L’auteur reprend les travaux d’Adolphe Hanoteau (1814-1897), auteur de plusieurs essais sur la langue kabyle et premier à recourir à l'alphabet latin pour écrire en amazigh. Il utilise les avancées et impasses des réformateurs contemporains comme Mouloud Mammeri. Romancier et grand connaisseur des langues et cultures berbères, Chérif Arbouz avance des règles simples et établit une grammaire harmonisée pour écrire la langue amazighe. Il les illustre de nombreux cas pratiques et offre au lecteur de s’exercer en traduisant un extrait de roman. Au-delà de l’intérêt culturel, Chérif Arbouz poursuit des objectifs très concrets : offrir à tous les berbérophones un moyen de s’exprimer à l’écrit dans leur langue, écrire aisément des textes sur leurs ordinateurs ou leurs téléphones, les partager, « accéder au savoir sous ses diverses formes contemporaines » à travers la langue amazighe. Cet ouvrage contribue donc à la diffusion et la perpétuation d’une culture ancienne et intéressera les berbérophones, les linguistes, les étudiants, tous ceux que l’étude des langues passionne ! EXTRAIT Rien de mieux approprié pour aborder le sujet du présent ouvrage, que l'extrait suivant du manifeste « Défense et illustration de la langue française », publié en 1549 par Joachim Du Bellay. « Ne pensez donc, quelque diligence et industrie que vous puissiez mettre en cet endroit, faire autant que notre langue, encore rampante à terre, puisse hausser la tête et s'élever sur pieds ? » Ainsi donc s'exprimait le célèbre poète, plaidant en faveur de la promotion de la langue française, face à l'impérieuse domination du latin, la langue savante alors commune à toutes les nations d'Europe. À peu de choses près, cette exhortation pourrait aujourd'hui s'adresser à tous ceux qui ont à cœur le devenir de la langue amazighe, laquelle présentement se trouve dans une situation comparable à celle de la langue française au 16e siècle. Voyons cela à la lumière de ce qui suit.

Before the Arabs conquered northwest Africa in the seventh century, Ramzi Rouighi asserts, there were no Berbers. There were Moors (Mauri), Mauretanians, Africans, and many tribes and tribal federations such as the Leuathae or Musulami; and before the Arabs, no one thought that these groups shared a common ancestry, culture, or language. Certainly, there were groups considered barbarians by the Romans, but "Barbarian," or its cognate, "Berber" was not an ethnonym, nor was it exclusive to North Africa. Yet today, it is common to see studies of the Christianization or Romanization of the Berbers, or of their resistance to foreign conquerors like the Carthaginians, Vandals, or Arabs. Archaeologists and linguists routinely describe proto-Berber groups and languages in even more ancient times, while biologists look for Berber DNA markers that go back thousands of years. Taking the pervasiveness of such anachronisms as a point of departure, Inventing the Berbers examines the emergence of the Berbers as a distinct category in early Arabic texts and probes the ways in which later Arabic sources, shaped by contemporary events, imagined the Berbers as a people and the Maghrib as their home. Key both to Rouighi's understanding of the medieval phenomenon of the "berberization" of North Africa and its reverberations in the modern world is the Kitāb al-'ibar of Ibn Khaldūn (d. 1406), the third book of which purports to provide the history of the Berbers and the dynasties that ruled in the Maghrib. As translated into French in 1858, Rouighi argues, the book served to establish a racialized conception of Berber indigenousness for the French colonial powers who erected a fundamental opposition between the two groups thought to constitute the native populations of North Africa, Arabs and Berbers. Inventing the Berbers thus demonstrates the ways in which the nineteenth-century interpretation of a medieval text has not only served as the basis for modern historical scholarship but also has had an effect on colonial and postcolonial policies and communal identities throughout Europe and North Africa.

Berbers, also known as Imazighen, are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state. Ranging anywhere between 15-50 million, depending on how they are classified, the Berbers have influenced the culture and religion of Roman North Africa and played key roles in the spread of Islam and its culture in North Africa, Spain, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the 21st century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Berbers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Berbers.

This volume considers a range of ways in which bilingual programs can make a contribution to aspects of human and economic development in the global South. The authors examine the consequences of different policies, programs, and pedagogies for learners and local communities through recent ethnographic research on these topics. The revitalization of minority languages and local cultural practices, management of linguistic and cultural diversity, and promotion of equal opportunities (both social and economic) are all explored in this light.

Investigating the connections between multiculturalism, minorities, citizenship, and democracy in North Africa, this book argues that multiculturalism in this region– and in the Arab world at large – has reached a significant level in terms of scale and importance. In the rest of the world, there has been a trend – albeit a contested one – toward a greater recognition of minority rights. The Arab world however, particularly North Africa, seems to be an exception to this trend, as Arab states continue to promote highly unitary and homogenizing ideas of nationhood and state unity, whilst discouraging, or even forbidding, minority political mobilization. The central theoretical premise of this book is that North Africa is a multicultural region, where culture is inherently linked to politics, religion, gender, and society, and a place where democracy is gradually taking root despite many political and economic hurdles. Addressing the lacuna in literature on this issue, this book opens new avenues of thought and research on diversity, linking policy based on cultural difference to democratic culture and to social justice. Multiculturalism and Democracy in North Africa will be of use to students and researchers with an interest in Sociology, Cultural Studies, and Political Science more broadly.

In this book, I attempt to show how colonial and postcolonial political forces have endeavoured to reconstruct the national identity of Morocco, on the basis of cultural representations and ideological constructions closely related to nationalist and ethnolinguistic trends. I discuss how the issue of language is at the centre of the current cultural and political debates in Morocco. The present book is an investigation of the ramifications of multilingualism for language choice patterns and attitudes among Moroccans. More importantly, the book assesses the roles played by linguistic and cultural factors in the development and evolution of Moroccan society. It also focuses on the impact of multilingualism on cultural authenticity and national identity. Having been involved in research on language and culture for many years, I am particularly interested in linguistic and cultural assimilation or alienation, and under what conditions it takes place, especially today that more and more Moroccans speak French and are influenced by Western social behaviour more than ever before. In the process, I provide the reader with an updated description of the different facets of language use, language maintenance and shift, and language attitudes, focusing on the linguistic situation whose analysis is often blurred by emotional reactions, ideological discourses, political biases, simplistic assessments, and ethnolinguistic identities.
