Amazigh
This term is the preferred endonym used by the indigenous people of North Africa to describe themselves, replacing the exonym "Berber." While "Berber" remains common in historical texts and some academic contexts, "Amazigh" is viewed as more respectful and culturally accurate, as it translates to "free people" in their own language.
As a noun, the word refers to an individual member of the ethnic group. When used as an adjective, it describes the linguistic, artistic, and social traditions of these populations. Because it is a proper adjective and noun derived from a specific ethnic identity, it is always capitalized.
