The term "Arab-Berbers" refers to the ethnic groups in North Africa that include both Arabs and Berbers. The Berbers, also known as Amazigh, are the indigenous people of the region, with a history that dates back thousands of years. They primarily inhabit countries like Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia and have their own distinct languages and cultures. The arrival of Arabs in the 7th century significantly influenced the region, leading to the spread of Islam and the Arabic language. Today, many Arab-Berbers identify with both their Arab and Berber heritage, reflecting a rich cultural blend that shapes the identity of North Africa.
