The Linguistic Situation and Position of French in Algeria

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the linguistic situation and the position of French in Algeria. The policy of arabisation has not been entirely successful in Algeria. The disregard for the language and culture of the inhabitants and the effort to deny the linguistic diversity in the country are the main reasons for its failure. Despite the protests of Islamists, knowledge of French remains an inevitable condition for good integration into the working environment and into Algerian society.
