It is therefore considered offensive by the Berbers and now widely avoided. Since en Berber (and cognates in other languages) do not share the same ambiguity, many Berbers see no problem with these terms. Others, however, prefer that the endonym en Amazigh (plural en Imazighen) be used in all languages.
