Also can you perceive any difference between them or do they all sound the same to you ?

Each video sounds little less semetic than the last. From top being "most arab sounding" to the last one barely sounding semetic. I could still hear some semetic influence in tachelhit, while barely any with kabyle video. But they sound like their own languages. Kabyle and zuwar sounds very different from languages i ever heard(and i hear a bit "african" influence in all)

that's interesting since the first is talked in north morocco while the last video is spoken in Libya ...it should be the opposite in terms of semitic influence lol

but what you perceive as "semitic" isn't semitic proper (even though many words are of arabic origin ofc) but simply similarities between the two branches (the berber branch is the closest to semitic in the afro-asiatic family)
