You grew up speaking English, huh? I hate to disappoint you but you don't sound at all like someone who grew up speaking English. Growing up speaking English implies that you grew up speaking it at home and usually, those who grow up speaking English since they were toddlers or kids at home, speak and write English far, far, far better than you. Unless you spent the first six years of your life in total isolation from any humans and human language, your English, as I see it here in these messages, is far, far, far away from sounding like the English of a person whose first language is English. Your English doesn't even look like the English of a person who attended primary school in English, unless, of course, you grew up in an English-speaking country where you never went to school.

Did you grow up speaking English?

"Official language" a clear definition:

"An official language, also called state language, is a language given a special status in a particular country, state, or other jurisdiction. Typically a country's official language refers to the language used in government (judiciary, legislature, administration)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...ministration).

If a language or dialect has an ISO 639-3 code, this doesn't make it an "official language." An official language is a language that has an "OFFICIAL LEGAL STATUS" within a state or a government. Tamazight is undeniably official in Algeria and Morocco. Deny it online or deny it by shouting from the roof tops wouldn't change this. It's a fact. Period.

This is what the 2020 Algerian constitution states about the Amazigh/Tamazight/Berber language:

ART 4
Tamazight shall also be a national and an official language.

THE STATE SHALL ENDEAVOUR TO PROMOTE AND DEVELOP IT IN ALL ITS LINGUISTIC VARIETIES THROUGHOUT THE NATIONAL TERRITORY.

An Algerian academy for the Tamazight language shall be established under the authority of the
President of the Republic.

It shall be supported by the work of the experts and assigned the task of providing the necessary requirements to develop the Tamazight language in order to integrate it as an official language in the future.

The modalities of implementing this Article shall be stipulated by an organic law

Therefore, Kabyle, as a variety of the Amazigh language, is part of this endeavor.


This is the translation of the Algerian constitution into Tamazight/Berber:

Revealing the name of the country where you live wouldn't reveal "too much" about your personal identity, would it? Ur ttaggad :-) Unless, of course, you're a wanted fugitive and you're afraid the NSA find you :-p

You're being too suspicious and dodgy to be given any serious consideration. You simply appear out of nowhere, claim that English is your strongest language yet you don't even capitalize the word "English" that you spell "english." Your claim in your profile that you have some knowledge in a variety of Caucasian languages and all you do is copy-paste sentences from COPYRIGHTED SOURCES. Then all of a sudden, you're interested in the Amazigh language and start asking questions about why it has this or that... You strangely remind me of a group of people who kind of did the same thing a couple of years ago.

If you're an actual user and contributor of this website, one should at least expect you to be honest and not so "mysterious" about your linguistic identity. If no Caucasian language is your language and English is neither your mother tongue nor your strongest language (language names are capitalized in English), and if you don't contribute sentences of your own making, then what are you doing here?

@Pfirsichbaeumchen - Maybe you could persuade this guy to answer these question.

So now you're a Circassian who lives outside of Russia? Where exactly? Jordan? Palestine? Turkey? The US? Canada? I know that... but I think that the admins of this website would rather be more interested in you than in those Circassians that live in Australia.

Should that be a reason for Tatoeba to delete Berber? And please answer my question:

If Kabardian isn't your mother tongue, then what is your mother tongue?

So in your opinion, a language should have an ISO 639-3 code to exist, otherwise, it wouldn't exist, right? I guess that even the makers of the ISO 639-3 code wouldn't agree with that. Only a group of people well known on this website believe in that.

The lies go on and on and on, Igider :-) Then where does this sudden interest in the Amazigh language come from? Hey... by the way... If you're not Kabardian, then why are you contributing sentences in Caucasian languages that are all copied from external and copyrighted websites?

(Tessewhamed-iyi a Igider) ;-)

Qezzaza - Ответь на эти вопросы:

1- Почему вы копируете предложения из Википедии?

2- Вы лингвист, специализирующийся на берберском языке? Какие известные лингвисты берберского языка научно продемонстрировали, что берберского языка не существует?

OK, Qezzaza... Why don't you try to write me in Russian? Please don't tell me that they don't teach you Russian in Kabardia... Or perhaps translate some random sentences from English into your mother tongue, Kabardian :-) Tatoeba also has tons of super simple English sentences like these that you might try to translate into Kabardian instead of copy-pasting probably super complex sentences from Wikipedia. Check out this like for a start:

The Kabardian sentences this Qazzaza or Igider is adding to Tatoeba seem to be all taken from this Wikipedia article.

https://kbd.wikipedia.org/wiki/...8B%D0%BD%D0%B4

Now you can have an idea about the true identity of the person who's posting these messages. Maybe he confuses the Amazigh Kabyle dialect with Kabardian, hhhh. Anyways, all I can tell that he's as Kabardian as a whale is a panda. Besides, are there really Kabardians who don't speak Russian ;-)

The Amazigh language still doesn't have an ISO-639-3 code but the Algerian authorities are already working on requesting it. For more information, please contact the High Commission for Amazighity (the Algerian higher authority in charge with the Amazigh/Berber language):
https://www.hcamazighite.dz/fr/contact

You can also find an Amazigh version of many Algerian government websites online (ministries, directorates, higher institutions, agencies, etc.).
