Overview: Amazigh are the indigenous ethnic group of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. The Amazigh-Riff people cluster encompasses a mainly mountainous region of northern Morocco, with some fertile plains, stretching from Cape Spartel and Tangier in the west to Ras Kebdana and the Melwiyya River in the east, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the river of Wergha in the south. Traditionally, the term "Berber" has been used by outsiders to refer to the Amazigh, but the term "Berber" is inherently discriminatory and the endonym "Amazigh" is preferred.
Peoples within this cluster: Amazigh, Ghomara; Amazigh, Riffian
Countries where they are found: France; Morocco; Netherlands
