Tifinagh...the miracle of writing
The revival of the Tifinagh letter in our contemporary time is a true miracle... Most African peoples have lost their traditional alphabets to the tide of Latin and Germanic languages. The Lama people (the most ancient and most civilized of the American peoples) lost their notation system based on the use of agate. In the twentieth century, Mongolia lost its ancient traditional script, replacing it with Latin and then Russian. English has its old script known as Furthuk... As for the The Amazigh script, Tifinagh, it has conquered time and its people and conquered them all...
Tifinagh is an ancient alphabetical system dating back more than 5,000 years. The Amazigh Touareg have maintained the tradition of using it in writing to this day. Tifinagh is the only system in the world that was not a development of another alphabetical system. It is not like the Latin script derived from the Phoenician script, not like the Arabic script derived from the Aramaic script, not like the Japanese script derived from the Chinese script of the fifth century, and not like the Coptic script derived from the Greek script inlaid with the Demotic system that was used in the Nile Delta.
What conclusively proves this historical authenticity, the likes of which we do not know, is that specialists discovered an inscription in Tunisia called the Toga inscription, preserved to this day in the British Museum, in which texts in Phoenician appear next to texts in the Tifinagh letter... Which means that Tifinagh is not derived from the Phoenician letters that were prevalent in southern Europe and North Africa, as is the case with the Hellenic, Latin, and other systems.
One of the advantages of the Tifinagh system is that it most accurately expresses the sounds of the language it represents? He distinguishes between soft sounds and deepened sounds (he distinguishes between soft and rounded sounds), and between simple and rounded sounds (like his distinction between smooth and rounded sounds), and between full vowels and smelled sounds that are barely felt by the ear of a non-Amazigh speaker... and this is what makes Tifinagh It is superior to the written system in some Germanic languages, such as English, in which what is written differs from what is read in a way that complicates the learning function in a way that even the English speakers themselves are not satisfied with. One of the functional advantages of this writing system is that each Amazigh phoneme has one letter that represents it, so the forms of this representation do not differ between small and large. As is the case in Latin, where we make an unhelpful distinction between magiskol and miniskol, and its forms do not differ according to its position in the word, as is the case in Arabic, where the letter takes different forms according to its position in the word, which complicates the students’ task of learning.
