Let me try to find my source, and I will post it here.<br />All the Best.<br />AustinAWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389280995003336103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137409915847697670.post-88658689373564361912011-06-10T10:01:30.946-03:002011-06-10T10:01:30.946-03:00Interesting.

I will read more of your posts on this subject, but what exactly did you mean when you wrote "The use of these symbols disappeared when the Arabs, spreading the Islam, invaded Northern Africa after 632 AD."? I find that to be quite misleading.<br />As it says in a wikipedia article:<br /><br />"In Libya, the regime of Gaddafi used to consistently ban the Berber Tifinagh script from being used in public contexts such as store displays and banners.<br />After recent uprisings in Libya, the National Transitional Council (rebels) has shown an openness towards the Berber language. The independent rebel "Libya TV", based in Qatar, has included the Berber language and the Tifinagh alphabet in some of its programming."<br /><br />Granted, the article is about Neo-Tifinagh but it is Tifinagh script all the same (albeit with some modifications... The inclusion of vowels being one of them - and the Yaz sign is still there!). Tifinagh is still very much in use, despite the Arab invasions of North Africa.Sundarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849804034915707813noreply@blogger.com
