In OTL, the Berber identity, as it existed in North Africa, was gradually eroded with the expansion of the Arabs. Yes, Berbers still exist, but the majority of the descendants of people who two thousand years would consider themselves Berbers, are now linguistically, and culturally Arab.

But is it possible that this could be reversed? How strong could the Berber identity be? Could a solidly homogeneous ethnic Berber identity spread from the Rif Mountains to the Nile? Or perhaps even further, into Arabia itself?
