Abstract The major problem concerning the making of a common Berber dictionary is that language comes in many forms, none of which can be considered representative. We suggest that these problems can be overcome through a lexicographic approach that considers language variants as a matter of data organization. Instead of searching for a recognized definitive form for a language or region, it is possible to list all the forms encountered. Finally, there might be a monolingual Amazigh dictionary that reports on all variants of the language in its unit and provides bridges of translation to other languages around the world.
