Proposed Move

Proposing that this page be moved. My understanding is that the proper name for the Military of Algeria is the People's National Army (or Armee Nationale Populaire). That name is currently being used as the page for the Land Forces (or Forces Terrestres). The national military structures should have proper article titles to avoid confusion. -Jonathon A H (talk) 21:52, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Berber names for Algerian and Moroccan corps

Hi everyone, I was advised to write here to discuss the use of Berber names for institutions and organizations in countries like Algeria and Morocco, where it is recognized as a second national language.

I would like to edit those pages by adding the Berber version of the names. Lord Ruffy98 (talk) 16:59, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The two countries are different. The "Algerian People's National Army" doesn't have a "Berber name". M.Bitton (talk) 17:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @GeorgeMemulous, Pigsonthewing, and Skitash: from the Helpdesk discussion. TSventon (talk) 17:28, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's why i think it has to be added.

For Algeria:

None of the branches of the Algerian Armed Forces currently have their names in Berber (Standard Algerian Berber), and I believe this is incorrect. The branches include theAlgerian Land Forces, Algerian National Navy, Algerian Air Force, Territorial Air Defence Forces, Republican Guard. These names can be translated into Berber, and such versions are already used on the internet, as seen in this article.

For Morocco:

Some pages already include Berber names, such as Royal Moroccan Army, Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie and Royal Moroccan Air Force. However one of those names is written in the Berber Latin alphabet rather than in the Berber languages (Standard Moroccan Amazigh).

Others, like the Royal Royal Moroccan Navy and the Moroccan Royal Guard, do not yet have Berber names included Lord Ruffy98 (talk) 18:05, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing apples to oranges serves no purpose.

None of the branches of the Algerian Armed Forces currently have their names in Berber the reason is simple: apart from the fact that Tamazight is still being developed, those institution don't use it in any form or shape. M.Bitton (talk) 18:34, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing apples to oranges serves no purpose.

Actually i think that we are not comparing completely different things: we are comparing the institutions of one country with those of another country, and in this case, the two countries share many similarities, such as the language.

Moreover, although Moroccan institutions do not use it extensively, this does not prevent others from using it.

So i still don't understand what would be the problem by adding berber version. Lord Ruffy98 (talk) 19:12, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
