Tifinagh Script
Tifinagh is an alphabetic script used by some Berbers to write their language. The original Tifinagh script (which has almost no vowels and a small number of letters) is used exclusively by the Tuareg, the only Amazigh people who have kept usage of the ancient Libyco-Berber script.
An older version of Tifinagh, sometimes named the Libyan (libyque) or Libyco-berber alphabet, was more widely used by speakers of Berber languages all across North Africa and on the Canary Islands. It is attested from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD. It is usually assumed to be of Phoenician origin. The word Tifinagh is a feminine plural noun whose singular in Tamashek is Tafineqq; it means 'the Phoenician (letters)', according to the most known opinions.
Most recently (since 2003), Tifinagh has become official throughout Morocco to write Berber languages, such as Tarifit.
