Those interested in Tamazight might also be interested to know there has
been some preliminary work to encode it in Unicode. Copies of the
discussion documents are here:

http://www.unicode.org/~rick/03076-tifinagh-discussion.pdf
Perhaps people at Unicode-Afrique@yahoogroupes.fr might be interested in
these. We invite discussion and feedback.
