Tlie Berber area is not only remarkably extensive, but it is also one of 
great antiquity. From the times of the earliest history the Berber nation 
liw beea spread over the same extent of country as at prcs<*nt; since the an¬ 
cient Xumidiaa and Mauritanian names of Sallust, and other writers, have 
t Bieariing in the modern Berber. No country, except Arabia, presents a 
^arpbcaotnenon. The I'urkish, the English, and the languages derived 
^ ^eaocient Roman, are spoken over more square miles than are the Ber¬ 
ber dhieois. Their spread however has been within the historical period. 
!■ Tbat the term Berber is on improper name for the languages of Bur- 
in other worths that Barbary itself is an exceptionable appellation, has 
^frequently insisted on. It has also been slated that the so-called Ber- 
bprlanguagcs have just the same relation with the Barabbra that they have 
«iw^otlier African languages, neither more nor less. 
■ Berber, or .‘Vroazirgh, has afliiiiiies with the Semitic languages, 
to be exhibited in the criticism of the affinities of the African Lin- 
?^o out of Africa. At present the glossarial evidence is very slight, 
oe gTMniatical arguments have been most developed by Mr. Newman iu 
“ oefber Grammar and in the Philological Transactions, No. IS. The 
pibe character of their grammar U strongly insisted upon by that writer, 
f-.wris's opinion is equally decided. 
hno' no reason for disconnecting the Berber from the other 
of Africa is shown in the Classical Museum, No. 12.
