Hilāl (English spelling) Hilal

According to the 14th century Tunis-born scholar Ibn Khaldun's Book of Ibal, the Berbers are broadly divided into the Zanata, Sanhāja, and Maṣmūda. The Zanata were originally nomads from Tripolitania and Tunisia, and were relatively cooperative with the Arab invasions, but were driven westward by the Arab nomads Hilāl and Sulaym, and came to live in western Algeria and Morocco (including the Rif Mountains). The Sanhāja are also widely distributed, but are divided into two main groups: settled agriculturalists in the Kabyle region and nomads in the western Sahara.

Muslim merchants who had advanced into North Africa traveled down to the inland Africa on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in search of gold, ivory, ostrich feathers, slaves, and other goods.

…しかし,家族を連れた多くのアラブ軍人や,宗教家,商人が征服地の都市に住み,アラブ化した都市が軍事,行政,経済の中心として繁栄するや,周辺の住民はアラビア語を自らの言語とし,急速にイスラムに帰依していった。11世紀半ばにヒラールHilāl族をはじめアラブ遊牧諸部族が大挙して北アフリカに移住し現地住民と混血したことも,アラブ化・イスラム化に拍車をかけた。北アフリカに進出したムスリム商人は,黄金,象牙,ダチョウの羽根,奴隷などを求めてサハラ砂漠南縁の内陸アフリカへ下った。…
