History Of The Moors (Mauri)
Moors is a term that is commonly used to identify Muslims who reside in the northwestern regions of Africa. The term is also used in referring to Muslims of Turkish or Jewish descent that live in northern Africa. In ancient history, the Romans referred to the northwestern regions of Africa as Mauritania and the Black African people of that region were called Mauri. These people are believed to have been part of a larger group of Africans who live in the Sahara known as Berber. Berbers were the earliest known people to inhabit the western Mediterranean coast. They were most likely their in 3000 BC or earlier. The languages, customs, and traditions of the Berber people are mainly practiced in areas isolated from the Arabs. These are places like the desert and mountains. Many Berbers became Muslims and learned to speak Arabic as well as their native African language. They too, became known as Moors. In the 700’s, the Moors joined the Arabs in their invasion of Spain. There are about 15,000,000 Berbers, and they speak a variety of Berber dialects. They live in villages, often in rugged, mountain areas. Berber traders linked the Mediterranean coast to central Africa. Berbers who lived along the coast became citizens of Carthage and Rome. The mountain Berbers continued to live in independent groups.
