The Kabylie flag is a cultural and national flag proposed for the Kabyle people, a Berber ethnic group native to Kabylia in the north of Algeria.
The flag is composed of five horizontal stripes (azure, green, yellow, green, and azure), and in the center in green is the letter Z in Tifinagh.
Each color refers to an element of Tamazgha, a territory inhabited by the Berbers (corresponding to the north of Africa). The azure represents the rivers and valleys of the Mediterranean Sea, the green represents the plains and verdant mountains, and the yellow represents the Kabyle people.
The central symbol is the letter Z in the Tifinagh alphabet (ⵣ). The symbol of the Berber resistance represents the 'free man' and the Kabyle language.
