;Cal. Berber-Algeria
;The Berber calendar is the annual calendar used by Berber people in North Africa. It corresponds exactly to the Julian Calendar.
;The Berber Academy (Paris-based Berberist group) set a year zero at 950 BC (a common estimate of the accession year of the Egyptian Pharaoh Shoshenq I,), which allows a convenient conversion of AD years by the addition of 950—thus 2000 AD was the year 2950 in this system.
;The Shoshenq era has had only a limited acceptance among Berbers, many of whom continue you use the calendar as traditionally, without any fixed calendar era.
