Hi everybody.
Always Happy to be here and wish everybody is OK. i read always news about my favourite actor RDA but i'm absent here and my english still always so bad.
ok, i wanna ask you a question, which can be something bizarre for you but it's very interesting and important for me.
so, DO YOU KNOW, WHO ARE THE BERBER OR IMAZIGHEN ?
Please, be free to tell all what you know, and please participate.
just a small indication, film stargate of Roland Emmerich in 1994 (first time daniel met Scara with his brother).

What do I know of the Berber (I did look up Imazighen, and see it's the name they call themselves)? Not that much.
Well, they are a non-Arabic people of the the deserts of North Africa who were mostly converted to Islam early on. They are the breeders of the Barb horses (which are not Arabians, either!). They were mostly nomadic, don't know how settled they've become since I learned that in school (almost 40 years ago ).
So, that's all I know of the Berbers.

thank you banlu for your answer, i'll wait if others want to participate.
yes, all nomadic people in desert of north africa are Berbers, and their first language is always Berber before arabic one.
do you remember in stargate movie when Daniel meet scara and his brother he tells to jack that their language seems to be Berber language before to say that is old egypt one. Actually i'm speaking this language (my native language).
pharaons of 22nd and 23rd Dynasty are berbers.

I wonder if there's any place left on earth that doesn't recognize RDA (though they may call him MacGyver )
Sorry, I don't remember that scene from the movie. I've never watched it all at once, I just see parts of it if I run into it while changing channels. But since there's no RDA, I usually keep going when I get to a part I know I've seen.

Hi xena, thanx for your answer.
Berbers (imazighen) are not arabic people, they lived in north africa since 10 000 years, and the muslims invasions starts in the 7 century (750 A.C), and it is not a made up race of the movie, i'm one of them, and actually there are around 50 millions of amazigh peaople in north africa from egypt to morocco.
in the movie they didn't talk berber language, it was the ancient eqypte, but when daniel hear them for the first time he said it seems to be the berber language of northern african because the two languages are almost similar.
here one of the famous amazigh song.

enjoy
do you know who's Zinedine Zidane ??? he is berber (amazigh)
regards

Yeh Banlu, i don't think there is a place in the world that doesn't recognize RDA, i'm fan of him since Mc Giver, but with SG1 he really became my favourite actor.
