I was really hesitant to group together all of the Berber Languages, but seeing as Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia all recognize "Berber" I grouped them together. Tuareg is most probably a separate language, but for the time being I have it as a type-in.

Yes, although the Berber languages are sometimes considered a language family, rather than one language.

The Berber languages are a language family, not one whole language. I have a spreadsheet of every Afroasiatic language with at least 10,000 speakers, i can send it to you if youd like.

That is why I made the distinction in the caveat. If Arabic can be considered a single language, then I don't mind grouping the Berber languages either.

Arabic is a single language, with several distinct vernacular dialects. Berber is not.

The Northern Berber languages may be grouped together and known as Berber or Tamazight. Tuareg is a stretch but I've included it for consistency's sake. I've specified what I'm looking for and so I see no harm in grouping them under the caveat. Moroccan, Egyptian, Levantine, etc. Arabic are mostly unintelligible I've heard, and I honestly believe they can be seperated into seperate languages--though I'd never do so on a Jetpunk quiz.

I am considering splitting the Berber family in a future update.
