The Berbers are the indigenous people of north Africa, who are widely dispersed from Morocco in the west to the Siwa oasis of Egypt in the east, and from the Algerian Jurjura in the north to parts of Mali and Niger in the south. In Morocco, they live in isolated compact villages scattered along the northern Rif, the Atlas chains, the Saghoro massif and part of the Pre-Saharan oasis regions. They speak various dialects of the Berber language which belongs to the African Branch of the Afro-Asiatic Family of languages. The Berbers of Morocco were mostly sedentary farmers, except for some primarily pastoral communities in parts of the Western Atlas. Since the 1970s, many Berber families have become urbanized, living in apartment-type dwellings and engaged in off-farm economic pursuits.
