The Berber Arabic alphabet (Berber: اݣماي امزغ اعرب‎ or اڨماي امزيغ اعراب‎ or ءاݣماي ءامازيغ ءعراب‎ Agemmay amaziɣ aεrab; French: Abjad berbèro arabe; Arabic: الابجدية العربية الأمازيغية) is an Arabic-based alphabet that was used to write various Berber languages in the Middle Ages. Nowadays users have largely reverted to either the Tifinagh alphabet in Morocco, [1] or Berber Latin alphabet in Algeria.[2]
