Stories For Learning Kabyle, A Berber / Amazigh Language. With Audio And English Translation.

Kabyle is a dialect of the Amazigh, or Berber language of North Africa. Kabyle more specifically is the variant of Amazigh spoken in Kabylia, a mountainous, coastal region of Algeria. Some variants of the Amazigh language has been spoken in North Africa for at least 4-5000 years, and it has been a written language for some 2500 years.

While the Amazigh languages have been written in different scripts throughout history, the first one was Tifinagh (ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ). The language has been written in the Arabic script too, however, as well as most recently, the Latin script.

Amazigh is an Afroasiatic language. The Afroasiatic language family regroups several subcategories of languages wherein we also find the Semitic, Chadic, Cushtic, Omotic and Egyptian languages. The Berber languages reprepresent their own branch on the Afroasiatic language tree and is therefore only very faintly related to the other languages in the Afroasiatic tree.

There doesn't exist a lot of language learning material for Kabyle. In fact you'd have little success from searching at all, and that goes for the other Amazigh dialects too, for that matter. This is why I've decided to have these 5 mini-stories translated to Kabyle and offer them for free for anyone who'd like to study this language.

The dialogues below are written in both the Tifinagh script and in the Latin Script. For a quick walk-though of the Tifinagh alphabet, watch this video or have a look at this chart.

Thanks to Aziz Ouikene for translating the dialogues and making the voice recordings!

How to study with the mini-stories

You are free to use the mini-stories in whichever way you like, but below is how I recommend that you study the Kabyle language with the dialogues.

1. Read through the mini-story in English in order to get an idea what the story is about and what you're supposed to get out of it.
2. Listen to the audio once while following along the text. Read it in Tifinagh if you can. Otherwise you may refer to the Latin script.
3. Now listen to the audio again, but pause for each sentence. With each pause compare the sentence to the English translation. Repeat the sentence out loud, trying to mimic the pronunciation, melody, intonation and rhythm as well as you can.
4. Work your way through a complete lesson this way and repeat step 3 a couple of times.
5. Now try writing the text by hand. Listen to the audio, and write what you hear. Focus on the words while doing so. Do you know what each word means? Glance to the English text when you're unsure.

You might want to revise each story several times. Try doing one new mini-story per day, but revise all the previous stories for each day. Listen to the recording, follow along in the Kabyle writing and repeat out loud.

I can also recommend to download the audio recordings and listen to them now and again throughout your day.

But without further ado, let's get to the 5 mini-stories:
