Abstract

The discovery of a long text in medieval Berber provides the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the typological features of an old variety of Berber. Some of these are presented and briefly discussed here. Besides a number of features typical of the Eastern Berber varieties, many archaic features emerge, and this may contribute to advancing our understanding of the diachronic evolution of the Berber languages.
