Berbers
Moroccan
Berbers are an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa, primarily inhabiting Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
The majority of Berbers are Sunni Muslim. Berbers are not an entirely homogeneous ethnicity, and they encompass a range of societies and ancestries. The unifying forces for the Berber people may be their shared language or a collective identification with Berber heritage and history.
Historically, they spoke Berber languages. Since the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the 17th century, a large number of Berbers inhabiting the Maghreb (Tamazgha) have in varying degrees used a lingua franca, which in most cases is a Maghrebi Arabic dialect.
There are some 25–30 million Berber speakers in North Africa.
