Grammar of Algerian Darja

[amina_imen]

HWDW, I don't have the name of the person/organisation who published such a link on the internet. Yes, I agree darija is a lot more complex than we think and the vocabulary/grammar varies from one spot to another!

Boualem, like you said, they can always recruit DZ idiots to do the job, and even if they could learn the dialect through books or websites, you know what they say about natives!!

Ironically, I remember reading this article a few years back about spying using DZ native speakers (and that obviously regards one hot political topic!!) , that those services recruit people who have been in the UK all their lives.

Anyway, I think the link is still useful for British or any other nationality born Dz's who don't have the opportunity to learn the dialect via practice; although I would never think that this is the best way!

I posted the link in response to a forumer asking for recommendations for some Algerian Darija books!

Interesting thread! I'm a would-be 'earwigger'.
