Standard Moroccan Amazigh, also known as Standard Moroccan Berber or Tamazight, is an ongoing project to create a standardized national Moroccan variety of Berber. It was established in accordance with Article 5 of the 2011 amendments to the Moroccan Constitution.Standard Amazigh was created by combining the three major Moroccan Berber languages (Shilha or Tashelhiyt, Central Atlas Tamazight and Riffian or Tarifit), with an emphasis on the Shilha language. The creation of this standard made all the Berber languages of Morocco 'substandard'; no-one speaks Standard Amazigh natively and it must be learned in school. At the same time, a new script was created, based on the Berber Academy's Neo-Tifinagh adaptation of the Tuaregs' traditional Tifinagh script (augmented with letters for vowels and additional letters for consonants) but adjusted for legibility.
