Relating to Algeria, a country in North Africa, or to its people, culture, or language.
From Algeria (the country name comes from Algiers, its capital, which derives from Arabic 'al-Jazair' meaning 'the islands'). The suffix '-ian' indicates belonging to or from that place.
Algeria is the largest country in Africa by area, but most of it is the Sahara Desert—and it was a French colony for 132 years, which is why French is still widely spoken there and why Algerian culture blends African, Arab, and French influences.
