Tamazgha

Tamazgha is a recent Tamazight neologism for the area more often known as the Maghreb or North Africa, covering the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Niger River, from the west bank of the Nile river to the Atlantic Ocean. The main inhabited areas are northern Libya, Tunisia and the Atlas Mountains chain from Algeria to Southern Morocco. It corresponds roughly to Herodotus' Libya, and to the medieval European term Barbary.

It has been translated into Spanish as Mazigia .
