Editing Awjila language (section)

==Writing system==

Although historically [[Tifinagh|Libyco-Berber languages]] were written with the [[Tifinagh]] alphabet between second century BCE and third century CE, Aujila and other Amazigh languages have remained oral for most of their modern existence. In recent times most Amazigh languages are written in either [[Latin script|Latin]] or [[Arabic script|Arabic]] script, although attempts to revive the Amazigh languages and cultures have led to the reintroduction of a "[[neo-Tifinagh]]" script in several domains. Nevertheless, Gaddafi had banned the script during the 42-years of his regime and therefore it is unlikely that the few Awjila speakers make any significant use of it.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tawalt.com/?p=14122 |title=سلطات الامن الليبية تمنع نشر الملصق الرسمي لمهرجان الزي التقليدي بكباو |trans-title=Libyan security authorities to prevent the publication of the official poster for the festival traditional costume in Kabaw|lang=ar |publisher=TAWALT |year=2007}}</ref>
