Moroccan researcher Ahmed Baala has launched a new language-learning app that teaches kids useful Tamazight vocabulary and the Tifinagh alphabet.
The application entitled “ⴰⵍⵎⵎⵓⴷ”, which means learning in Arabic, aims to offer an offline version in order to be accessible even if you are not connected to the internet.
“The learner can obtain a large amount of information that helps him to learn the Amazigh language easily, and the mobile app is characterized by a fun and simple style, through which the child learns the Tifinagh letters and one of the easiest ways to write them,” said Baala in a statement to Hespress.
The mobile application ensures excellent electronic graphics, as well as a colorful, uncluttered, and engaging interface that combines fun and learning in order to teach children basic Tamazight.
Ahmed Baala has been constantly working to provide and produce digital resources to facilitate teaching the Amazigh language to children. “I converted the stories from a paper resource to a digital one; consisting of high-quality audio and video animation,” he noted.
The mobile application is set to build motor skills and concentration, reinforce hand-eye coordination and make effective and beneficial use of technology, according to Baala.
The newly Moroccan government promised the institutionalization of Amazigh, first promised by the Moroccan constitution back in 2011.
For the first five years, the government allocated a MAD1 billion budget, amounting to MAD200 million per year in order to accelerate the officialization of the Amazigh language.
Earlier this month, Morocco also announced the official adoption of Arabic and Tamazight interpretation in its weekly plenary sessions.
