Tunisian or Tunisian Arabic (تونسي Tounsi local pronunciation: [ˈtuːnsi] or دارجة dèrja [ˈdɛːrʒæ]) is a Maghrebi dialect of the Arabic language spoken by some 11 million people in coastal Tunisia. It is usually known by its own speakers as Derja which means dialect to distinguish it from Standard Arabic or as Tunsi which means Tunisian. In the interior of the country it merges as part of a dialect continuum into Algerian Arabic and Libyan Arabic.
