Turks in Algeria

Turkish women of Algeria in their traditional dress (c. 1876–1888).

The Turks in Algeria, also commonly referred to as Algerian Turks,[1][2][3][4][5] Algerian-Turkish[6][7] Algero-Turkish[8] and Turkish-Algerians[9] were the ethnic Turkish and renegades who emigrated to Algeria during the Ottoman period. A significant number of Turks intermarried with the native population, and the male offspring of these marriages were referred to as Kouloughlis (Turkish: kuloğlu) due to their mixed Turkish and central Maghrebi heritage.[10][11] However, in general, intermarriage was discouraged, in order to preserve the "Turkishness" of the community.[12] Consequently, the terms "Turks" and "Kouloughlis" have traditionally been used to distinguish between those of full and partial Turkish ancestry.[13]
