  • The official language of Algeria is (literary) Arabic, as specified in its constitution since 1963. In addition to this, Berber has been recognized as a "national language" by constitutional amendment since May 8, 2002. Between them, these two languages are the native languages of over 99% of Algerians, with Algerian Arabic spoken by about 83% and Berber by 27% . French, though it has no official status, is still widely used in government, culture, media (newspapers) and education, due to Algeria's colonial history and can be regarded as being de facto the co-official language of Algeria. English is taught from Middle school, with other foreign languages being taught in larger cities or private schools. The Kabyle language, the most spoken Berber language in the country is taught and partially co-official (with a few restrictions) in parts of Kabylia.
