Question #187449 on Launchpad itself changed:

Status: Needs information => Open
arafat877 gave more information on the question:
Hello !
It's right, the ISO code is RIF, but the variants of this three Berbers, is
that all this variants are derived from the ancien Berber, but by time each
one has its vocabulary, and the commun vocabulary between this three
variants is about 30% or less, so assesting to a conference about the
unification of this three variants, the speakers (that are doctors in
Berber Language, who make the academic courses) concuded that for now its
recomanded to encourage poeple to write in TIFINAGH (the Berber
Calligraphy), and by time encorage poeple to use the original berber,
because now each variant contains a lot of Arabic, of Spanish vocabulary
duo to the colonization.
so and from the recomendation of this conference, I propose to create a
team for each variant. and by time (10 or plus years) we achieve to one and
unique team.
you must to understand that for my case, I was born in Rif, in a
traditional familly, in witch my mom speaks only the Berber-Rif, and also
my Grand mom. I can't understand someone who speaks Berber-Tachalhit, or
Berber-Sous, or even Berber-Qbayel (Algeria) Berber-Libya or any kind of
Berber.
for that I encourage you let poeple starting translating in the first step
to translate UBUNTU in thier variant, and by time all this variants can be
unified in one commun Berber, we need also to invent in some cases
vocabulary duo that the Berber language didn't keep pace its time for a
long time.
finally, the decision for unifing all this variants in one unique team is
clear, I created a team for the Berber-Rif variant, I have two commiters,
one is a developper, the other is a doctor in Berber language, I can add
some other comitters, now the big question is from where to start ?
Cheers
