Amawal: Building the Future of the Amazigh Language
A community-driven project to preserve, enrich, and standardize the Amazigh dictionary for generations to come.
Our Objectives
Amawal is more than just a dictionary; it is a collaborative platform dedicated to the documentation and revitalization of the Amazigh language in all its varieties. Our goal is to create a comprehensive, accessible, and high-quality linguistic resource for students, researchers, and native speakers.
Why Amawal Matters
The Amazigh language, Tamazight, is a rich and diverse heritage spanning across North Africa (Tamazgha). In a digital age, it is crucial to have robust tools that represent this diversity. Amawal bridges the gap between traditional knowledge and modern technology, ensuring our language thrives in the 21st century.
