KABYLE PEOPLE OR THE HIGHLANDERS

August 15th, 2008 by kabylog in kabyles · No Comments

I bet all of you heard about or know the miditeranean sea that raised  the oldest civilizations on the mother earth ,from the pharoes in egypt to the berbers in numedia  that occupied almost the whole northern africa,the Berber group has many ethnic sub-groups among them kabyles that live in the highlands of the west-north of algeria  ,the language spoken by kabyles is called kabyle,most of whom live mainly in kabylie ,about 4 – 5 millions kabyle speakers live in Algeria (their motherland) and about 3 to 4 millions live throughout the planet mostly France and united states ,their strong character is the resistance to any attempt that represent a danger for their language and culture ,the amazing thing is that kabyles are almost the only people that kept their full traditions and culture among all the north african berbers ,kabyles love their lands and have a strong attachment to the highlands ,i remember about my grand father’s love to the nature  he spends all his day time in tacking care of his olive trees and gardening  from the sun rise to the sun set seven days a week ,what a great love between men and nature ! look at this picture its gonna give you an idea about the kabylie land what a wonderful sight ! dont you think

that’s how the kabylia villages look like ,with their traditional stone houses built on the highlands and the picture bellow shows the traditional kabyle house made of stones
