'''Kabyle''' is a [[Berber languages|Berber language]] (Kabyle:  ''{{lang|kab|{{unicode|Ṯāqbāylīṯ}}}}'', ''taqbaylit'', [[International Phonetic Alphabet|pronounced]] {{IPA|/ˌθaq.βajˈliθ/}}) spoken by the [[Kabyle]] people. There are 3,123,000 speakers worldwide, the majority in [[Algeria]], where there are more 2,000,000 speakers.

Kabyle was (with some exceptions) rarely written before the 20th century; however, in recent years a small but increasing body of literature has been printed. The originally [[Oral literature|oral poetry]] of [[Si Mohand]] and [[Ait Menguellet]] are particularly notable in this respect.
