Berber

The colored areas of modern-day North Africa indicate where 90% or more of the local populations speak a variety of the Berber language as a sole or a primary language

wp/ber -> a standardised form ("ber" is collective, not a macrolanguage!)

Many speakers of the Zaza–Gorani languages, particularly including Zazaki, Dimli, Gorani and Shabaki actually consider themselves as Kurds despite separate classification by various texts.
