What are the descendants of Berbers called?

There is no single term for the descendants of Berbers.

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.
