General

  • [120530] http://www.amazigh.org is totally blacked out. The home page is solid black: its HTML code, in its entirety, is <body bgcolor="#000000">. I've commented out all 4-5 links in hopes that they will be restored.
    • [121204] "This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon. This Domain Is Registered with Network Solutions"
  • [120530] Site de l'association Franco-berbère ASAYS: Is now a dating site in German. Was "Mostly French, but some texts in different Berber dialects of Morocco, e.g. ..." The old article links are 404.
  • [120530] http://www.amazigh-voice.com

Linguistic notes/Writing/Latin

  • There are also other Latin orthographies; see for example [[#Lexicon|Sahki 1999]].
    • This would seem to be Tamazight: Méthode d'écriture de la langue. The reference doesn't appear on the page, and I can't find a reliable source on the Web. It's allegedly in a torrent download, but I can't get it (Server not found). [120207]
  • IRCAM originally developed and used it [=its Latin-alphabet standard] with an 8-bit mapping, but the glyphs are included in the Unicode Tifinagh range.
    • Deleted. I don't know where I got this from, and Unicode Tifinagh, 2D30-2D7F, does not include any Latin characters or diacritics. [120606]

Linguistic resources/Grammar

  • Naït-Zerrad, Kamal. 2001. Grammaire moderne du kabyle, tajerrumt tatrart n teqbaylit. Paris: [http://www.karthala.com/rubrique/detail_produit.php?id_oeuvre=1030 Editions Karthala]. 2001. 225 pages. ISBN 9782845861725. € 20. Amazon.

  • Mouvement pour l'autonomie de la Kabylie. Dictionnaire. Online word list, French -> Kabyle. ASCII.
    • 404. The site is live, but the page is 404, and search for "dictionnaire" finds nothing. [20:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)]
