Algerian Arabic (Arabic: الدارجة الجزائرية, romanized: ad-Dārja al-Jazairia), natively known as Dziria, Darja or Derja, is a dialectal variety of Arabic spoken in Algeria. It belongs to the Maghrebi Arabic dialect continuum and is mostly intelligible with the Tunisian and Moroccan dialects.[2]
Like other varieties of Maghrebi Arabic, Algerian Arabic has a mostly Semitic vocabulary.[3] It contains Berber, Punic and Latin (African Romance)[4] influences and has some loanwords from French, Andalusian Arabic, Ottoman Turkish and Spanish. Algerian Arabic contains a few Berber loanwords which represent 8% to 9% of its vocabulary.[5] The word Darja (Arabic: الدارجة) is an Arabic word meaning "everyday/colloquial dialect".[6]
