    Salam,

    There are few linguists who've been interested in the Algerian lexicography. However, many have already traced the origins of some words/expressions. If we take the word "zalamit" it's quiet easy to guess it comes from the French word "allumettes" but its equivalent in algerian: "torchaq" (as we say in Constantine) has an unclear origin. As you know Algeria has been conquered successively by Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish etc.
    In Constantine, we can find a number of Turkish words like "maadnous" (parsley), in Oran, Spanish words are more present like spedrina (baskets), ans essekouila (primary school).

    Not to add that the algerian language is developing too quickly to the point that we can easily invent new algerian words. Thus, I wonder if one of the words you mentioned above have some historical origins or are 100% algerian inventions!?!
