Why a bilingual English-Amazigh (Berber) dictionary? Simply because there is none.
Indeed, and I am saying it with great modesty, this work is the first of its kind. Even
if it is not perfect, I am quite sure that it will be very helpful and useful for anybody
who seeks to learn either English, if he or she is an Amazigh speaker, or Amazigh
language, if he or she is an English speak er. But don’t expect that this work will cover
all the Amazigh dialects because it will be a mission impossible. The reason is not just
because they are a lot, but because they are extremely rich. It will take many decades,
huge amounts of money, and many researchers to study them as a whole. Let the next
generations to take care of it. I am sure they will be equal to these big challenges.
That is why I focused just on my own mother tongue, Tashlhit, the most spoken
Amazigh dialect in Morocco and even in North Africa with more than ten million
speakers. It is the main language in the whole south of Morocco and it is used in many
big cities in the North of the country and Europe where Ishlhiyen emigrants had
settled down by hundreds if not thousands. Their main business is mostly trade and
commerce. Indeed, the owner of the grocery where you may run errands in
Casablanca, Paris or Brussels is likely to be an Amazigh from Great Suss region who
speaks fluently Tashlhit.
When I began this work I would never think that it will be that bigger (almost 1368
pages with 2 columns and more than 6000 entries). To tell you the truth, my goal was
something smaller than we have now. But as I worked on it, I couldn't stop anymore.
It was so exciting that this dictionary is getting bigger and bigger without realizing it.
For almost three years, all my weekends were devoted just for this work. At times, I
could work eight hours in a row in a single day, which is a lot as you might know. The
side effect of all this I should say is that I have begun for the first time in my life to
experience problems with my vision. But, it is not very important because I regret
nothing at all. For me, the promotion of our Amazigh culture deserves all sacrifices.
On the other hand, even if I am extremely cautious all the time with all my writing
projects, sometimes accidents might happen. As a matter of fact, this dictionary could
never see the light. Indeed, when I was at almost 500 pages, all of sudden, all my data
were gone. Everything disappeared completely in my computer. However hard I
tried, impossible to find it again. Frankly speaking, it was a real nightmare. But
thanks to a small software found somewhere in Internet and the precious help of my
little brother, I managed to recover the biggest part of my work. Still, some twenty
pages were missing, which is not very tragic. But, I was totally relieved because all the
efforts were not completely in vain.
As regards the work itself, I used the Latin alphabet. I didn't have any particular
 
5
most known which is not yet the case for the Tifinagh. For the bibliography,
unfortunately there is not a lot of documentation in English except one very
interesting PhD memoir done in University of Rabat. As a result, I relied a lot in what
was done in Arabic, French and Spanish in addition to all the material I gathered
myself, the result of almost twenty years of continuous research.
How I proceed? As a matter of fact, it is extremely simple. As you will see it, my
continuous concern is to reach out to a broader audience and not just a small elite of
specialists. So I gave a word in English and its different definitions with a number
and their equivalents in Amazigh language. Besides, every time it is relevant
(sometime it is not the case) I put the Amazigh word in a sentence to show how it
works in context. What about the Amazigh words I used? Even if it is not my cup of
tea, I made up some new words (I must say that it is extremely rare) because we don’t
have them at all. They all are related to the modern life. For the other words and
expressions I used, they must be known of every good Amazigh speaker.
In conclusion, I hope from the bottom of my heart that this first edition (hopefully
there will be another edition even other editions, why not?) of this work will give ideas,
meaningful ideas to the young researchers to do a better job in the future in as many
Amazigh dialects as they could. It stands to reason that it will help to keep our
language alive and, most importantly, it will make it known to the most people of this
world. Let us bear in mind that English is the official language of planet Earth with
billions of speakers.

Foreword/ Awal izwarn
The earliest dictionaries in Tamazight , although very basic, are written by father G.
Huyghe and dated from 1906 for Dictionary French - Chaouia and 1907 for the
Dictionary Chaouia - Kabyle and French. Following his dictionary of Kabyle verbs,
published in 1953, the father Dallet has placed at our disposal finally a real Kabyle -
French dictionary that meet modern scientific standards. This is the Kabyle-
French dictionary: At Mangellat talk, published in 1982. Two years later, J. Delheure
has published a Mozabite - French dictionary. Previously in the years 1972-1973, a
Kabyle intellectual group was formed around the writer Mouloud Mammeri to
establish an Amawal  or a lexicon of 1940 entries. This lexicon was responding to an
urgent need to address the lack of knowledge of modern terms that can convey a
modern knowledge. During the decade 1990-1999, academician Mohamed Chafik
began a monumental work which consisted of a large bilingual dictionary: Arabic – 
Amazigh; Volume 1 (1990), Volume 2 (1996) and Volume 3 ( 1999). More recently a
Taknarit - Spanish dictionary, was born in May 2011. It is the work of Dr. Sabir
Ahmed, former dean of the University Ibn Zouhr in Agadir. 
I just gave a few important dates I felt essential, and some examples of bilingual
dictionaries Tamazight to one of the three languages that have coexisted with it, either
by geography or by history due to colonization. However during last two decades
countless dictionaries and lexicons were produced by own sons and daughters of
Tamazgha (North Africa). It is true that the establishment of two state institutions,
such as HCA (High Commission for Amazigh) in Algeria in 1995, and IRCAM (Royal
Institute for Amazigh Culture) in Morocco in 2001, has helped many in the
publication of this multitude of lexicons and dictionaries. 
The fact that Tamazgha was not confronted with the English colonialism and that
most of the Amazigh diaspora resides in Spain, France and some European countries
such as Belgium and Holland, no bilingual dictionary Tamazight-English has
emerged. The great merit of Lahsen Oulhadj is to provide us for the first time, what
I may call an exceptional gift that is such large Tashelhit-English dictionary. 
Tomorrow the Tamazight language, called to modernize, must have its place among
the major languages that have managed to express and say science and technology in
their works. Unquestionably English language is the language of science and
technology, hence its status of the most spoken language in the world. In less than a
century several languages such as Hebrew and Korean, to mention only these two
languages, have been promoted and boosted forward through translations of many
scientific papers from English. It will be the same if we, as Amazigh, assemble our
efforts not only to translate scientific and technological knowledge from English to
Tamazight but also to promote our language and culture in English. The tremendous
 
7
Tamazight language which will further grow its production. It will also pave the way
for generations of researchers to produce and edit science and technology in their own
language.  
Finally, the last point I would like to stress is the following. The last three decades a
large number of Amazigh chose English-speaking countries such as USA, Canada,
UK and Australia to settle. I want to launch a solemn appeal to the English-speaking
Amazigh to make efforts to produce in English. This is of course to promote the
Tamazight language further and permits her to leave the modern life in its words.
With Tashelhit-English dictionary of Lahsen Oulhadj, you have a great tool to start.
For sure, it will be augmented in its future editions, and even adapted in other
Amazigh languages; Taqbaylit, Tacawit, Tamzabit, Tarifit, Taknarit, Tasiwit,
Tanefusit, Tatargit, ...
