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:
“All writing comes by the grace of God, and all doing and having.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the end we beat them with Levi 501 jeans. Seventy-two years of Communist indoctrination and propaganda was drowned out by a three-ounce Sony Walkman. A huge totalitarian system ... has been brought to its knees because nobody wants to wear Bulgarian shoes.... Now they’re lunch, and we’re number one on the planet.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
