Neo-Tifinagh is the modern fully [[alphabet]]ic script developed by the [[Berber Academy]], based in Paris.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Fazia Aïtel |title=We Are Imazighen |pages=115}}</ref>

Initially, the academy had to choose a script to transliterate the Berber language. The choice between Tifinagh and Latin scripts then sparked intense debate both within and outside the Academy.

[[Mohand Arav Bessaoud]], a founding member of the academy and strong Tifinagh advocate, recounted the resistance he faced from prominent figures like [[Mouloud Mammeri]] and Ramdane Achab, who argued that Tifinagh was archaic, obsolete, non-cursive, and impractical. Despite the criticism, Bessaoud persisted in promoting Tifinagh.<blockquote>"Achab Ramdane opposed my actions, calling it rekindling extinguished embers" - Said Bessaouad <ref>{{Cite book |last=Arav Bessaoud |first=Mohand |title=De petits gens pour une grande cause |pages=89–91}}</ref></blockquote>
