Home›African Language Families›In Group›Afroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianGroupAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianThis group collects members of the Berber and ancient Egyptian branches of the Afroasiatic family, two branches the report's own worked example does not separately name but which this subcategory's live roster carries in real depth: the Berber (Amazigh, Tamazight) languages and dialects of the Maghreb and Sahara, including the Zenati, Atlas and Riffian clusters, and the extinct Egyptian language across its Old, Middle, Late and Demotic stages. The two are grouped together here rather than left in the general isolates bucket because each is a real, well-attested primary Afroasiatic branch in its own right, distinct from Chadic, Cushitic-Omotic and Semitic. Placement follows each member's own description naming it Berber, Zenati, or Egyptian (including Demotic Egyptian).Afroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Afroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianFilter Results16 entriesMacro-areaAllAfroasiatic: Berber and Egyptian (16)Speaker Count BandAll798,400 to 3,238,000,000 (5)RegionAllAfrica (9)Algeria (4)Egypt (1)Libya (3)Mali (1)Morocco (4)Niger (1)North Africa (2)The Horn of Africa (1)The Maghreb (1)The Middle East (1)Tunisia (2)West Africa (1)Reconstructed AncestorAllReconstructed (3)Classification StatusAllEstablished (8)Number of LanguagesAll2 (2)16 to 1,408 (2)3 to 5 (3)6 to 15 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 16Afro-AsiaticAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianAtlas languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianBerber languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianDemotic Egyptian languageAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianEast Zenati languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianEastern Berber languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianEastern Middle Atlas BerberAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianEgyptianAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianKehek languageAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianNorthern Berber languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianNorthern Songhay languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianProto-Afroasiatic languageAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianSonghayAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianWestern Algerian Zenatic dialectsAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianWestern Berber languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianZenati languagesAfroasiatic: Berber and EgyptianComments (0)No comments yet.
