Writing System
Like other Berber languages, Riffian has been written with several different systems over the years.. Most recently (since 2003), Tifinagh has become official throughout Morocco. The Arabic script is not used anymore for writing Riffian Berber.. However, unlike the nearby Tashelhit (Shilha), Riffian Berber has little written literature before the twentieth century.

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or system:
“There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
