If you would know that the berbers live in many isolated regions in north africa, and that those people are seldom conscious of their background as non-arabs, and mayb, you also know that those berbers don't get any serious lessons on their history in their schools. and furthermore, the berbers have seldom connections with the other sub-groups. if you know all this, is it no wonder that all the berbers refer generally to themselves as "amazigh" and "imazighen" knowing that the uneducated berbers never heard that they are called berbers ?

Related topicthe twareg (a name that is derived from the berber word for the libyan city "tawarget") don't refer to themselves as twareg. they use diffirent name to refer to themselves depending on the region. all their names are basically the same word "amazigh / imazighen" with some deformings becuase of the language's develepment.
