North African Arabs

North African Arabs is a term to denote an inhabitant of the North African Maghreb who is of Arab origin and whose native language is a dialect of Arabic and who also has an Arab ethnic identity. The North African Arab tribe groups came as a result of the Arab conquest of North Africa and the spreading of Islam to Africa. Examples of these Arab tribes that migrated into North Africa in the 11th century and were a major factor in the linguistic, cultural and ethnic Arabization of the Maghreb are Banu Hilal,[1][2] Banu Sulaym and also Beni Hassan. The offsprings of these intermarriages created the North African Arab tribal groups who speak Arabic as a first language and have an Arab ethnic identity and moreover are representing nowadays the majority of the population in the countries in North Africa, which include Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Egypt and Mauritania.

North-African Arabian tribes

Through out the centuries, many Arabian tribes have settled in the Maghreb, or new tribes were created. The tribal system is upheld mainly in the countryside of North Africa. Still, many people originally belong to a tribe which bonds the people culturally and religiously. In the different countries in North Africa exist the following tribes.
