Title: Algeria Recognizes Amazigh as Official Language
Body:
Although Amazigh (also known as Berber) was already recognized in Algeria as a national language, it las lacked the status of Arabic, which as an official language could be used on administrative documents. However, on January 5 the Algerian government announced a set of reforms, aimed at increasing democracy in Algeria, that include making Amazigh (called Tamazight in the language itself) an official language as well.
Learn more about the new policy and the significance of Amazigh in these articles: languagemagazine.com/?p=125179, http://allafrica.com/stories/201602170465.html, and http://unpo.org/article/18913.
