Cultural Groups in Algeria

Algeria's cultural groups weren't influenced much as much of the rest of Africa was. 99% of the population is Berber or Sunni Muslim culture. 1% are Christian or Jewish, but they are scattered all around the country. Now, Algeria is home to many different kinds of cultures such as Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Fatimids, Turkish Ottomans, and other kinds of Berbers.
About 14 to 25 million people speak the "Berber language" although there are many versions and dialects. The main language the people of Algeria speak is Arabic, but the second most common is French, (Thanks to French Imperialism.)
