"Amazigh Languages in Danger" is a bilingual Amazigh-English kit for
grassroots language documentation that explains how to record and publish
mother-tongue materials online. The Amazigh languages, known more commonly
in English as Berber, are the predominant Indigenous language family of
North Africa. They include Tarifit

language projects, Langues Amazighes en Da emphasizes the individual's
power to keep their language alive. At Wikitongues, our goal has always
been to open up the doors to linguistics for all people, so we are thrilled
to see this philosophy in action.
*Disseminating health information through Wikipedia*
Volunteers who speak languages of Africa are taking to the internet to make
COVID-19 information more accessible for speakers of Indigenous African
languages. WikiAfrica, a project that aims to create more accessible
Wikipedia content for nearly 20 African languages, has greatly contributed
to these efforts in the last year. Volunteers have translated content about
social distancing, hand sanitizer, and face masks; this project is all part
of WikiAfrica’s wider goal of democratizing information

Tarifit, also known as Riffian Berber, was spoken by 1,270,000 people in
Morocco as of 2004. It is a Zenati Northern Berber language belonging to
the Afro-Asiatic family. Tarifit has several sub-dialects including Al
Hoceima (West-Riffian), Nador (Central-Riffian), Berkan (East-Riffian).
Tarifit is primarily spoken within the Rif region, a mountainous area in
Northern Morocco, along with some speakers in western Algeria.
