Tifinagh is a script used to write the Berber languages. The Tuareg are a nomadic Berber people, primarily based in the Sahara. The Tuareg are also known as the Blue People because of their indigo-rich clothing. They principally inhabit the Sahara in a vast area stretching from far southwestern Libya to southern Algeria, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and into Nigeria. Traditionally they are nomadic pastoralists. Their jewelry is distinctive for the use of geometric shapes and incised designs that have a timeless appeal.
