Committee Set up in Algeria for Writing Quran Commentary in Amazigh Language
According to the elkhabar.com website, the North African country’s Awqaf and Religious Affairs Ministry set up the committee in cooperation with a governmental institute.
Muhammad Issa, Algeria’s Awqaf minister, said the plan is aimed at promoting the Quranic teachings and serving the Amazigh language and culture.
A group of scholars, linguists and Quran interpreters will cooperate in the project, he added.
Algeria is a Muslim-majority country in North Africa. Some 98 percent of the country’s population follow Islam.
The Amazigh language is indigenous to North Africa. It is spoken by large populations in Algeria and Morocco, and by smaller populations in Libya, Tunisia, and northern Mali.
