Algerian Arabic is the dialect or dialects of
Arabic native to
Algeria. In Algeria, as elsewhere, spoken Arabic differs very substantially from written Arabic; Algerian Arabic has a substantially changed vocabulary with many new words and many words from
Berber,
Turkish, and
French, and, like all Arabic dialects, has dropped the case endings of the written language. Within Algerian Arabic itself, there are significant local variations; Jijel Arabic, in particular, is noteworthy for its pronunciation of qaf as kaf and its profusion of Berber
loanwords, and certain ports' dialects show influence from
Andalusi Arabic brought by refugees from
al-Andalus. Algerian Arabic is part of the
Maghrebi Arabic dialect continuum, and fades into
Moroccan Arabic and
Tunisian Arabic along the respective borders.
