Welcome to Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia. This page is written in English to give an introduction on this Wikipedia to non Standard Moroccan Tamazight speakers

Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia is a project to create an encyclopedia in Standard Moroccan Tamazight, a language spoken by millions in Morocco.

The language

Standard Moroccan Tamazight, Tamazight, or Moroccan Tamazight (ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ ⵜⴰⵏⴰⵡⴰⵢⵜ ⵜⴰⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱⵉⵜ; tamaziɣt tanawayt tamɣribit) is a standardized variant of the Berber languages spoken in Morocco, namely Tachelhit, Tarifit and Central Atlas Tamazight, which altogether are spoken by around 25% of Morocco's population (over 9 million people). It has ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3 codes zgh.

Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia aims to provide a general encyclopedia to speakers of this language in an accessible way following the official written style as regulated by IRCAM.

Start of Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia

A Standard Moroccan Tamazight edition of Wikipedia was proposed in 2012, and after being developed as an Incubator open test wiki, the project was approved and officially opened in 2024. All existing pages from Incubator were moved to the new wiki's URL.

Rules of writing

There is a page on How to write on Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia and for anyone who can read Tamazight it gives some guidelines on how to write.

The default script is Tifinagh but a transliterated Latin script option is also available.
