Kabylism

Kabylism, or kabyle nationalism, is a political and cultural movement for the recognition of national aspirations of Kabylia and the empowerment of kabyle-speaking people in Kabylia. Its political corollary is the kabyle sovereign, various trends (autonomy, federalism, independence) with the goal: creating a Kabyle sovereign state with Kabyle as the only official language. Kabylism differs from Berberism by affirming the kabyle specific identity and its primacy over all others, including in all berber-speaking territory. The Kabylism belongs to the family of nationalism called "liberation", along with Catalan or Basque nationalism. Its antithesis is Algerian, ideology that Algerians as a whole, beyond linguistic and religious differences, would form a historical nation. Proponents of the Algerian are overwhelmingly Kabyle themselves.
