Learn it. Read it. Look it up. Write it down.
Tussna — Tamazight for knowledge — is a family of open projects with one mission: to digitize Amazigh culture. A learning app, dictionaries across eight of its languages, a browser spellchecker for Kabyle, a library of more than a thousand folk tales, a community wiki, an open corpus of the script’s oldest inscriptions, and a public archive of digitized Amazigh books.

Built the same way
Open code, sourced texts, and the originals kept — so that everything here can be read, searched, and reused.
Open by default
Open code and open data, self-hosted on tussna.org’s own machines — not on a platform that could take it away.
Sources first
Every entry and every tale keeps its provenance: the book it came from, the collector who wrote it down, and a rights statement.
The originals stay
Original-language texts are first-class — behind a language toggle, not buried under translations.
