North African Amazighs/Berbers are of predominantly mediterranean.
Berbers are the indigenous peoples of North Africa west of the Nile Valley. They are discontinuously distributed from the Atlantic to the Siwa oasis, in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean to the Niger River. They speak various Berber languages, which together form ancient pre-historic langauges closely to ancient proto-egyptian ,Minoan ,Ligurian and Elymian languages, of the Atlantico-Mediteranean language family. Between eighteen and fourty-five million Berber speakers live within this region, most densely in Morocco and becoming generally scarcer eastward through the rest of the Maghreb and beyond.
Many Berbers call themselves some variant of the word Imazighen (singular Amazigh), meaning "free men". This is common in Morocco, but elsewhere within the Berber homeland a local, more particular term.Historically Berbers have been variously known, for instance as Libyans by the ancient Greeks,as Numidians and Mauri by the Romans, and as Moors by medieval and early modern Europeans.
The best known of them were the Roman author Apuleius, the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, and St. Augustine,
During the pre-Roman era, several successive Independent States (Massaesyles, Massyles, Moors ... etc) existed before the king Massinissa unified the people of Numidia.

According to Arab historians of the Middle Ages, the Berbers are divided into two branches, two are from their ancestor Mazigh. In sum, the two branches Botr and Barnès are also divided into tribes. each Maghreb region is made up of several tribes. The large Berber tribes or peoples are Sanhadja, Houaras, Zenata, Masmouda, Kutama, Awarba, Berghwata ... etc. Each tribe is divided into sub tribes. All these tribes have independence and territorial decisions.
