Abstract

Report on the Amazigh alphabet Tifinagh which has been adopted recently instead of the Arab and Latin letters in the Amazigh Language. Tifinagh letters are letters of an ancient Alphabet used by residents in North Africa. The historians don’t agree about its origin; whether phonecian or Carthaginian. The writing of Tifinagh, as it is on the old engravings, is from the bottom to the top whereas in the modern version, it is written from the left to the right this is done for the purpose of teaching it in Morocco.
