L'arabe maghrébin de l'Algérie. Diversifié à l'interne entre les variétés urbaines tellsiennes, sahariennes et hilaliennes rurales ; porte un substrat berbère profond et un lexique de contact français.
The codified supra-regional standard used across the Arab world in education, media, literature, and formal speech. Derived from Classical Arabic, it has no native speakers and no single regional home — it is acquired as a formal register layered above the spoken vernaculars. Cairo, as the historical center of Arabic publishing, broadcasting, and scholarship, serves as its conventional locus.
