Also just a friendly reminder to the linguistics and language oriented sides of Tumblr:
Many speakers of languages which are commonly referred to as belonging to a family called B—er, don’t like that term. For many, it is a slur. There’s another, appropriate term for the family and speakers that the speakers on average prefer which is Amazigh. In fact, one of the most comprehensive works on the phonology of the family is called “The Phonology of Amazigh” (this is a translation btw). Yes, not all speakers feel the same way about the term B—er. They are indeed not a monolith. That doesn’t mean you actively seek to find those individuals so as to validate your lack of giving a fuck about the terminology you use to refer to people when you are given a readily accepted term or set of terms that are far more preferable and chosen by the wider array of communities that fall into said set of terms. Calling people Imazighen, and calling their languages Amazigh languages, really wont kill you. If you really feel so strongly about using what is considered by many to be a slur, maybe you should be more interested in evaluating yourself than evaluating anything regarding Amazigh languages.
