Algerian Arabic

A few rules of Algerian transliteration:

The Algerian letter combination ch = the English sh sound. Remember, Algerians speak French and thus Algerian transliteration often follows French pronunciation rules. So the two spellings of inchalah/inshallah are pronounced the exact same.

Alphabet equivalent of numbers:

3 = ع

9 = ق

7 = ح

2 = ء

weshrak? / weshraki? = How are you?

labes, w nta? = Fine, and you?

sh7al? = How much?

sh7al fi 3omrek? = How old are you?

makech mouchkil = no problem
