The review surveys the thirty-three contributions to The Handbook of Berber Linguistics (eds. A. Korangy and K. Bensoukas, Springer, 2024) and argues that the volume functions less as a reference handbook than as a heterogeneous collection: the editors’ inclusive policy is achieved at the cost of a unifying conception, and its coverage is weighted towards Kabyle, Tashelhiyt, and Tarifit, to the relative neglect of other languages central to the field. It nonetheless identifies several valuable contributions, particularly within the comparative-historical section.
