Ziyad, watch your language Barbar has no existence as a word in English, barbarians are humans who are perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive ( barbares in French ), Berbers are the authentic inhabitants of North Africa not only in Libya , scattered under different tribes and different dialects throughout North Africa ( Kabylian , Shawi , Tuareg , Chelhi , Rifi , Chenwi ...) the converging point of these dialects makes a common language called Tamazight .

Never knew that, but I got it right. Being from the Philippines, I just simply used process of elimination to get to my final answer.

TangyEagle83984, it's very well known as the Barbary Coast, there were also Barbary pirates the US fought. The error is your own.

Wily Febbs, Barbarian actually means bearded and has nothing to do with civilized or primitive. Yes, Berbers or Amazigh are the indigenous people of N.Africa. Fairer of complexion and remarkably more advanced than their neighbours south of the Sahara.
