Berber languages can be written in three writing systems, Berber, Arabic and Latin. Although latin alphabet for Berber is created, there are some details which I disagree. So I've created another one thinking how should be written. It is now in a very early stage of development, so some changes may occur to it in the future as the creator see fit.
