Berbers (also called Amazigh, "free men", pl. Imazighen^[1]) are an ethnic group found natively in the countries of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia in North Africa, and also found as immigrants in many countries, especially France. Berbers usually speak the Berber language. Berbers were both nomadic and land owners according to the region they live in. Most Berbers are Muslims, but many are not. An example of a famous Berber is Zinedine Zidane, who used to play football for the French team and big clubs like Juventus and Real Madrid
