A modern teaching alphabet
This keyboard presents the 33-letter set documented by Morocco’s Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture (IRCAM), including ⴳⵯ and ⴽⵯ. In digital text, those two forms pair a letter with a labialisation mark.

A little practice.
A whole new alphabet.
Meet Tifinagh one letter at a time. Build a line of writing, get to know the shapes, then see what you remember.
Which Tifinagh? This studio follows the modern Tifinaghe-IRCAM alphabet used in Morocco. Other Neo-Tifinagh conventions, Tuareg writing traditions and ancient inscriptions have different letter sets. This is letter practice, not a translation service. See the references.

The alphabet
Tap a letter to add itThe small labels show Latin correspondences: c is often written “sh”, ɣ “gh”, and x “kh”. These are reading aids, not English letter sounds. The raised ʷ marks lip rounding; dots distinguish letters such as d / ḍ.
Use the letter keys or paste text. You can edit anywhere in the notebook. Typing Latin letters does not convert them.
Your writing stays in this page. It is not uploaded or saved.

Beyond the letter shapes
A script with more than one story
Letter knowledge is a beginning
Recognising letters is different from knowing a language. Vocabulary, grammar, regional pronunciation and spelling need their own study. A Latin label is a useful bridge, but it cannot teach every sound.
Many ways of writing
Amazigh languages are also written in Latin and Arabic scripts. The Unicode Tifinagh block contains characters from several traditions; this small studio deliberately focuses on one teaching standard.
