Algerians

Algerians (Arabic: الجزائريون, romanized: al-Jaza'iriyun) are the citizens and nationals of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria.

Considerable Algerian populations can be found in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom; with smaller notable concentrations in other Arab states as well as the United States, and Canada.

[27] Berbers, Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines and Turks as well as other ethnic groups have contributed to the culture and languages of the Algerian population.

[29] Moreover, Spanish was spoken by these Aragonese and Castillian Morisco descendants deep into the 18th century, and even Catalan was spoken at the same time by Catalan Morisco descendants in the small town of Grish El-Oued.

[32][page needed] During the colonial period, there was a large (15% in 1960)[33] European population who became known as Pied-Noirs.
