The
Berber Latin alphabet is the version of the
Latin alphabet used to write the
Berber language (which has two main sub-groups: Northern Berber, and Southern Berber, i.e.
Tuareg). Though it was being written occasionally centuries ago, the Berber language started being written and printed systematically in the 19th century, using varieties of letters. Today, the Latin alphabet is preferred by most Berber writers and linguists in North Africa and abroad, for practical reasons.
