What is this site
This website debuted in 2011 as an attempt to provide users with easy access to a Tamazight dictionary. We remain committed to the goal of making it one of the finest reference sites for Amazigh language. Starting with a very humble site that was first announced in an online Amazigh forum, today this site serves Tamazight meanings to users in over 180 countries!
Background and Motivation
The online Amazigh dictionary started as a small project with an aim to just make a website in Tamazight. Dictionary was chosen as an application because there was no good quality online dictionary at the time and also because making a dictionary involves lot of challenge. The first version was a very simple site with about 1000 words . Over time, the vocabulary was improvised and today it has tens of thousands of words. This site has grown in popularity because of its easy interface and strong vocabulary database. And we stay committed to improving it continuously.
Future Goals
Today, the online dictionary is one of the top sites for Amazigh language . However, we believe that there is a lot of potential for improvement. We hope that with the help of our knowledgeable users, we can make lot of improvement in the quality of this dictionary. So, we have developed an interface that allows interested users to contribute to the dictionary using an easy interface. It is our hope that with the help of knowledgeable individuals around the world, especially in North Africa, this will become the richest amazigh dictionary in the world. Depending on how good the collaborative efforts are, we also plan to start releasing the dictionary for download.
