This article attempts to present the main research directions of the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture in Morocco, focusing most prominently on its pursuits to revitalize the Amazigh language. The first part of the article aims to present the social circumstances of the Berber population of Morocco throughout history and the events that led to the establishment of IRCAM and later the adoption of the Amazigh language as an official language of the state. The second part analyses the Institute’s scholarly activities through the content analysis of its scientific journal and presents some conclusions about the Institute’s importance, both nationally and internationally. The last part reviews strategies employed by IRCAM’s linguists in an attempt to standardize the Amazigh language and thus prepare it to serve its constitutional role. The article is a result of a research visit that took place in July 2019 and was a part of a student project financed by Rada Konsultacyjna Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego and University of Warsaw Foundation.

The Berbers, an indigenous people of North Africa, belong to the group of “nations without a state.” For centuries, they were marginalized by the Arab majority or manipulated by European colonizers. Since the mid-twentieth century in North Africa, a movement for a Berber and Pan-Berber identity has been growing strongly. The movement has disseminated the neologism “Amazigh” as the endoethnonim of this group of peoples. The process of building (creating) a Berber identity has been slightly different in Morocco (where the stabilizing role of the monarchy has been highlighted) and in Algeria (where it has taken more violent forms). With the rise of Berber self-awareness in North Africa and the activity of the Berber diaspora in Europe (mainly in France), civil society organizations (associations) were established in Morocco and Algeria to defend the rights of the Berber minority. After many attempts and despite the resistance of Arab elites the Berber language and culture were recognized by the state authorities as equivalent to the Arabic component of the Algerian and Moroccan identity. State institutions (the Institut royal de la culture Amazighe–the IRCAM–in Morocco, and the Haut Commissariat à l’Amazighité–the HCA–in Algeria) were established for the revitalization of the Berber culture and language (tamazight).
