Good evening.
Dajira is merely dhakhiira written the way it may be pronounced in  
spanish
and referring to Ibn Bassam's anthology al-Dhakhiira fii mahaasin ahl
al-djaziira.

Maybe you should think of it as al-Dhakhira.
Hope this helps,

Meaning of Al-Darija?
Since I am Tunisian, here in Tunisia, the local variety of Arabic is  
often refered to as Darija. So Darija, as it is used in Tunisia, is  
the usual term for Tunisian Arabic.
