L'évolution de la langue arabe en algérie

Abstract EN

Arabization of the Maghreb occurred between the 7th and 12th centuries with the rise and spread of Islam in two stages: there were pre-Hilalian dialects and Hilalian dialects.

In Algeria, the language situation is marked by the diversity of languages due to its history and geography.

The classical Arabic "El fosha", read and written, called canonical, language of Islamization considered as official language.

And dialectal Arabic, spoken, non-canonical Arabic represented by dialects, language of transactions par excellence.

Linguistic plurality in Algeria is a process of social identification of Algerians.

It is an important vector of Algerian Arab-Muslim Berber identity.
