Until now, I had never heard of any Berber communities in Saudi Arabia. In fact, this entire paragraph seems to describe bedouins rather than Berbers. Could someone please clarify whether the presence of Berbers in Saudi Arabia is a recent discovery, or does this statement need to be deleted? Polaris999 22:58 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)


the discovery is a ideologie and politiek , because the berber are komed from noord afrika , and hhey are there.

I have a quetion: If the berber are komed from arabie , why is the berberlanguage not a semitic language????????????????????????

You're right to be skeptical - most modern historians think they came from East Africa, not the Middle East. I have updated it to that effect. Mustafaa 22:43, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC).

Both Ibn Khaldun and Averroes were Andalusi, not North African, and other sources describe them as Arab; until someone can provide evidence to the contrary, they have been removed from the list. Mustafaa 22:43, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
