Berber

Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa (also Known as the Maghreb: Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria). Historically they spoke various Berber languages, which together form a branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Today many of them speak Arabic. Between 14 and 25 million Berber-speakers live within this region, most densely in Algeria and Morocco, becoming generally scarcer eastward through the rest of the Maghreb like in Tunisia and Libya (even though 65 % of Tunisians are believed to be of Berber origins but were arabized).

Many Berbers call themselves some variant of the word Imazighen (singular Amazigh), meaning "free people". This is common in Morocco, but elsewhere within the Berber homeland a local, more particular term, such as Kabyle or Chaoui, is more often used instead. Historically Berbers have been variously known, for instance as Libyans by the ancient Greeks, as Numidians and Mauri by the Romans, and as Moors by medieval and early modern Europeans. The modern English term is borrowed from Arabic, but the deeper etymology of "Berber" is not certain.

The best known of them were the Roman author Apuleius, the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, and Saint Augustine of Hippo. A famous Berber living today is the international football star Zinedine Zidane.
Berber means "free men".

barbora

Barbora comes from Slovakia or Czech Republic and celebrates Names Day on 4th of December. There's a few Barboras I know but this one is dedicated to only one of them. This chick is highly admired by people around her for being spontaneous and always fun to hang around with. On the other side there's a very sensitive and caring side of her, that only a few lucky people get to know. And once you get to know her better, you'll feel lucky you've met such a wonderful human being. She's also very responsible and pretty good at organising things and I believe she would make a great mother. Not to mention that she's the best girlfriend you could ever imagine. Loving, caring, playful, funny, a bit crazy, beautiful, intelligent, smart and hundreds of other positive adjectives I can't think about right now - what more could you ask for ? She enjoys going to the movies alone and playing a game called Pexeso, which she's the best at actually. Whether she's your friend, girlfriend, family member or in other way related to you, you're a lucky person you've met her. CrazySexyCool chick with pretty blue eyes.
Hi Barbora, would you like to play a game of Pexeso ?
