The planning of Standardizing Amazigh language The Moroccan Experience

Résumé

In the literature on the issue of the standardization of Amazigh, planning is considered primarily in terms of corpus planning, while the latter can be apprehended in a relevant and meaningful fashion only in a systemic approach in which determining a strategic vision is a prerequisite to any technical action on the structure of the language (see Chaker, 2000; Boukous, 2012). This procedure could be explained by the fact that the question has long remained confined to the reserved area of the linguist even though it appeals directly to designers and strategists. Therefore, issues such as the following need clear answers:
(i) What standard Language for Amazigh?
(iv) What standard Script for Amazigh?
Examination of these issues is relevant because ensuing from it are practical steps to follow in order to adopt a coherent approach and a rational procedure in dealing with the planning of Amazigh Language.
