Kabyle (/kəˈbaɪl/ or /kəˈbaɪliən/) (Kabyle: Taqbaylit, ) is a Berber language spoken by the Kabyle people in the north and northeast of Algeria. It is spoken primarily in Kabylie, east of Algiers, but also by various groups near Blida, such as the Beni Salah and Beni Bou Yaqob(extinct?).

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
—Frederico Fellini (1920–1993)
