Dear Aziz,

If you're looking for a textbook of conversational Algerian Arabic,  
Dziri Larbi's L'arabe parlé par l'image was
published in three volumes in 1970, tho it may be difficult to find  
outside of a research library.

More recently, there is Jihane Madouni-La Peyre's Dictionnaire arabe  
algérien-français:  Algérie de l'ouest
(2003).  I found it very useful, but it is not comprehensive.

For speakers of English, Margaret Nydell's From Modern Standard  
Arabic to the Maghrebi dialects (Moroccan
and Algerian).  It focuses on Moroccan, but has extensive notes  
indicating where Algerian diverges from
Moroccan.  It was published by Diplomatic Language Services in 1993  
and should be available thru the website
(www.dls-llc.com).  My Spoken Algerian Arabic (2005) can be ordered,  
with audio, from the publisher at
(www.dunwoodypress.com).  These are not, however, textbooks for  
conversation, but for listening
comprehension.

I wish you luck in your search and would appreciate hearing about  
other sources,

Best,
Elizabeth Bergman
