Were does Tifinagh come from?
Upvote:3
Karim Achab's Internal Structure of Verb Meaning: A Study of Verbs in Tamazight (Berber) spends a page on the debate over Tifinagh's origins. James FΓ©vrier was the author that advanced the Phoenician thesis, on the basis of the script's name and some similarity between symbols. Supporting the independent development hypothesis, distinct Western and Eastern variants have been identified, with only the latter showing Phoenician influence. Other challenges to the Phoenician hypothesis are based on archaeological finds of older rock art that seems to have "prealphabetic precursors" to Tifinagh; Achab cites Chaker & Hachi.
