Algeria First Berber translation of the Qu'ran
Algiers: Algeria has translated the Quran into the Berber language, Tamazight, for the first time, to promote Islam among a community that has long campaigned for more language and cultural rights, an official has said.
Berbers were the original inhabitants of North Africa before the 7th century Arab invasion and make up a fifth of Algeria's 33 million people.
The translation was done at the request of officials from local mosques in Kabylie districts such as Tizi Ouzou where congregations did not understand Arabic.
"The translation is fruitful" . "Mosques in Tizi Ouzou were empty before the distribution of the copies. It is now very difficult to find a place there, particularly on Friday."
