Not many languages can boast about being spoken during the time of the pyramids. But this language for sure can. Not only it was spoken at that time, but it was also written. With the same script that is used today. But wait, it’s actually not one but many languages? And what is the right way to call them? Berber is a name that comes from the Greek “barbaros” and basically means “barbarian” - this is what the Greek used called anyone whose language they didn’t understand. This name kinda stuck with the Berbers to this day, but this is might not be the best way to call people. And this is definitely not how they refer to themselves. The Berbers call themselves Amazigh, which means “free people”, and their language is called “Tamazight”.
