Libyco-Berber script
The Libyco-Berber script is an ancient alphabet of consonants used to write Berber languages across North Africa and the Canary Islands from at least the third century BCE. It is known from thousands of funerary and rock inscriptions, and bilingual Punic texts from Dougga, including a dedication to Masinissa, made its partial decipherment possible. It is the ancestor of the Tifinagh script of the Tuareg.
