Hi Nadine :-)

Yes, I do speak Berber, which is not at all linked to Arabic at any way! The proof comes just from comparing words in Berber with their equivalents in Arabic.

As for writing it, usually Arabic script is used, that's the classical way of doing it, but there is an alphabet called "Tifinagh" (Which I honeslty don't write, nor can understand) that is used for writing Berber.
-I can tell you more about that if you wish-

For the title that you mentiened, is it Algerian? If it's the case, then I guessed right and the title is in "kabyle", which is Berber spoken in North Algeria, and that is very different than our Berber..So, I can't help with it!
