Article Name[edit]

Written Culture in a Colonial Context: Africa and the Americas 1500 - 1900 uses "Libyco-Berber scripts" to "group ancient Libyan script and ancient or current Tifinagh script". My impression from the text is that this is the typical usage of the terms "Libyco-Berber script," "Libyan script," and "Tifinagh script," but on Wikipedia, "Libyco-Berber script" seems to be used contrastively with "Tifinagh" to exclusively refer to the ancient "Libyan script." Is this due to another competing norm in terminology? If not, I think we should rename this page to "Libyan script," or merge the Tifinagh page into this one.

Found this source: "The many challenges that surround the study of Libyco-Berber scripts have led to a complex crossroads of terms, chronologies and theories which sometimes are contradictory and confusing. For the Rock Art Image Project, a decision had to be made to define the painted or engraved scripts in the collection and the chosen term was Libyco-Berber, as most of the images are associated with paintings of the Horse and Camel periods and thus considered to be up to 3,000 years old. Using the term Tifinagh could lead to misunderstandings with more modern scripts and the alphabet currently used by Berber peoples throughout North Africa." a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 19:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
