Extractions: Libya Libya has a population of over five million, around half of whom are under the age of 15. Most Libyans are Arabs (and nearly all think of themselves as such), although ethnically there is quite a mixture of races, including Turks, Berbers, and sub-Saharan Africans. In the south, especially around Ghat, there are large Tuareg communities, most of whom now live in towns and settlements rather than pursuing a life of desert nomadism. Away from the more cosmopolitan coastal cities, tribalism remains strong, especially affecting family relationships, matrimony and social structures. Modern Libyans adhere to the traditions of Muslim society, which revolve around family life. Most visitors' overall impressions of Libya are of modest material comforts but with none of the flashy wealth of some oil-rich nations. As a result, there is none of the general hassle toward tourists that you find in other North African countries, such as locals begging for baksheesh or hustling you to buy something. In fact, an offer of payment for a small (or even large) kindness would probably cause offence to a Libyan. Arabic is the official language of Libya, though English is often spoken by businesspeople in the main centres and some older Libyans speak Italian. Some Berber groups still speak their own language, and Tuaregs in the south speak Tifinagh as well as Arabic. However, all road, shop and other public signs are in Arabic, so it's extremely useful if not requisite to know at least a few words. In religion, Libyans are Sunni Muslims almost across the board; they are, in general, conservative without being fundamentalist in their outlook.

Extractions: Postal Services and Stamps of Libya Postal stamps have been in use since Libya was part of the Ottoman Empire. Turkish stamps were used without any overprint showing their origin or locality. Letters with stamps that had been mailed out of the region could only be identified by their return address. The early local postal outlets were in the form of small agencies that set up shop near international consulates and navigation companies at major ports. Since the services of these outfits were unreliable, Italy established the first main postal outlets in order to ensure some sort of a communication link to its residents in the Ottoman colony in this part of North Africa in 1869. Italian stamps went into circulation at the beginning of 1909 and were in use until the Italian occupation in 1911. The original stamps had overprinted names of the postal outlets, Tripoli di Barbaria and Benghazi di Barbaria. The name Libia was also overprinted on Italian stamps between 1912 and 1922. Stamps bearing the overprints of Cyrenaica, Fezzan, and Tripolitania were also in use until 1932 when proper stamps of these regions were issued and remained in use until 1936. Italian stamps without any overprint were also in use until 1943.
