Here's why:
* Berber is a broad term: It refers to a group of indigenous peoples of North Africa, not a specific ethnicity.
* Multiple ethnicities: Over time, Berbers have intermarried with other groups, creating a diverse range of ethnicities in North Africa.
* Various self-identifications: People of Berber origin may identify themselves as Amazigh, Kabyle, Tuareg, Rifain, and other specific groups, depending on their region and culture.
So, instead of a single descendant term, it's more accurate to say:
* "People of Berber origin"
* "Amazigh people" (the most common term for Berbers in modern times)
* "People from specific Berber groups" (e.g., Kabyle, Tuareg, etc.)
It's important to be sensitive to the diverse cultural identities within the broader Berber community.
