What do you call people from Basilicata?

What is the correct way to call people from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco etc?

  • My Algerian boyfriend call himself mediterranean. But I would like to know what is the best way to call people born in North Africa, meaning a common ethnic name I could use without ...show more

  • Answer:

    "Mediterranean" is not the right word, since it also represents Spaniards, Italians,Greeks,Turks,Israelis,etc. "Arab" is too general, since it also represents countries which are not in North Africa. "North African" is also too general, since Lybia and Egypt are quite different from these three countries ( even if they are arab too" The right word is "people from Maghreb", because Maghreb is the region which Morocco,Algeria and Tunisia are in... It's a similar culture...

Those I know from the African continent have nationalistic ties so : Algerian, Tunisian, ect.........

the area of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia is called Maghreb. So the best way is to call your boyfriend maghreban.

Most people from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco are Berber or Arab. If you want to say that they're from North Africa - its "North African". If you don't want to include Egypt, Sudan or any other parts of Saharan African, then say "Northwest African" or "Maghrebi".

Hi there, first of all congratulation for the Algerian boyfriend, indeed you have a proud warrior beside you who can protect you till the last breath guaranteed. The correct way to call them is mediterranean.
