Talk:Ethnic groups in Algeria

how about some more information?
when i entered this article, i hoped to find some data on the ethnic composition of Algeria, yet i still have no idea how high percentage Arabs/Berbers/whoever account for in that country. think it would be beneficial to add some statistics --Jaro7788 (talk) 12:21, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

This has been removed because:
 * The first Turkish source ( which isn't reliable to start with ) says: Etnik Özellikler: Cezayir nüfusunun çogunlugunu (% 78) Arap etnik kökeninden gelenlerin teskil ettikleri varsayilmaktadir... Cezayir nüfusunun %22’sini teskil eden Berberiler Kabil, Savi, Mozabit ve Tuareg gibi ait gruplardan olusmaktadir, which basically translates to: Ethnicity: It is assumed that the majority of the Algerian population (78%) consists of people of Arab ethnicity... The Berbers, which make up 22% of Algeria's population, are composed of groups such as Kabyles, Shawis, Mozabits and Tuaregs.
 * The second Turkish source is ancient. What someone claimed in 1953 (when 10% of the population was European) is neither here nor there. Furthermore, WP:RS contradicting it (describing Algeria's ethnic makeup as "99% Arab-Berber; less than 1 % European") can be cited ad nauseam.
 * The part that starts with Today's Turkish descendants are often called Kouloughlis is pure nonsense that has been falsely attributed to a couple of cherry picked sentences about the Ottoman era.
 * 1) The Oxford business group is not a reliable source. 2) Even if you consider it reliable, its latest editions (2011, 2015 ) and its website clearly state that 99% of the population is considered to be of Arab or Berber descent, with the European minority comprising the remaining 1% of inhabitants.
 * The Sahrawi refugees are not Algerians, they live separately in their refugee camps.

Removed cleanup tags
These ref tags were placed as a drive-by seven years ago. As far as I can tell, the lead is adequate, and the article well-referenced. It could definitely use expanding, but does not appear to need cleanup. I'm removing them. -Kieran (talk) 03:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

change “Palestine” to “Israel” when talking about the Jewish population of Algeria. The usage of Palestine here is meant to disregard the existence of Israel, and the source that is cited the quote is “Since 1948, 25,681 Algerian Jews have immigrated to Israel.” Harryberry09 (talk) 23:28, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

from meditteranean berbers to arabian banu hilal
it would be interesting, if there's any data on it, to learn how many north african berbers actually 'married out' to banu hilal or other arabian tribes, especially since populations there were already familiar with other outside conquest.. 12.146.12.2 (talk) 23:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
