Dear African Wikimedians, On behalf of the Moroccan Amazigh Wikimedians, we are very happy and proud to announce that the Wiktionary in Standard Moroccan Tamazight (zgh) has been officially approved and launched on 11 August 2025!
This marks an important new step for the Tamazight language and for our community’s mission to make free knowledge available in Amazigh languages. This achievement is part of a broader effort by Amazigh Wikimedians to grow the presence of Berber languages in the Wikimedia movement: Kabyle Wikipedia – the very first Berber Wikimedia project – was launched on 6 May 2007. Tachawit Wiktionary – the first Wiktionary in a Berber language – was launched on 22 November 2019. Tachelhit Wikipedia – launched on 30 June 2021. Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wikipedia – launched on 7 November 2023. Now: Standard Moroccan Tamazight Wiktionary – launched on 11 August 2025! We are committed to making Wikimedia projects accessible to Amazigh speakers and ensuring our languages and cultures are represented online. This project will serve as a crucial resource for speakers and learners of Standard Moroccan Tamazight. You can visit the new Wiktionary here: https://zgh.wiktionary.org/wiki/ⵡⵉⴽⵉⵎⴰⵡⴰⵍ:ⵜⴰⵙⵏⴰ_ⵏ_ⵓⵙⵏⵓⴱⴳ We take this opportunity to thank the Wikimedia community, and we encourage our fellow African Wikimedians to keep working on projects in local languages. Warm regards, Zakaria B.
