@CEZAYIRLI ....here (TR tea house) is place for friendly chit chat, where there is refuge from nasty politics/drama etc overall
I was wondering (given recent topic we got into):
If you speak berber language out of interest?
Are all berber languages understandable to other berber languages.
How different is it from Arabic?
How many in Algeria would you say can speak Berber?
How different is Algerian Arabic from other kinds of Arabic?
Does berber influence/presence make its way into Algerian Arabic?
The (Berber) script seems quite interesting (middle of each):
In fact it looks very close to phoenician to me.
Phoenician/aramaic script is also currently generally accepted as large/some part of the origin of (native) scripts found in India by way of the progenitor "Brahmi" script that formed in India around ~300 BC.
Probably by extensive iron age trade with Fertile Cresecent area, middle east and Egypt in general at the time.
So quite amazing all the Indian languages I know writing is by ancient history linked to Berber script too.
It goes for european (largely latin + greek based) scripts too...old persian (pahlavi, avestan) and Semitic (Arabic, Hebrew etc) as well.
Looks like even old turkic script has the phoenician, aramaic early parentage connection:

Goes to show what impact Mesopotamia and Egypt had on world writing systems.
Chinese is one other influential bronze age hearth (for scripts) but its kept mostly in orient sphere.
The one great bronze age civ that has no script legacy (today that we know of) is the Indus valley one....and it remains undeciphered itself as a result.
