Which North African country is most, and least, Arabized?

[Sikeliot]

Of course, Libya is part of greater Maghreb, go tell to a Libyan that, you'll see what he will say
they are ethnic Berbers, show great similarities culturally with us (couscous united power).

Couscous is also eaten in far western Sicily.

[Sikeliot]

In my case is mostly because of football players since we barely have any North-Africans in Portugal. When I think of Algeria, Zidane, Slimani and Benzema come to my mind. Taraabt and Carcela come to my mind when I think of Morocco, they look much more "African" to be honest.

I think Moroccans are more SSA admixed, but the least Arabized.

.

Algerians, the most indigenous north africans

You're god damn right I didn't want to say it to sound pretentious haha

Lybians are different culturally and genetically I don't see them really amazigh unlike algerians and moroccans

They are a bit outsiders, I admit it, I also see them as a bit different from us. But to be fair, they are also very unknown because they are not numerous at all, small population and diaspora.
But I met Libyans and they definitely show affinities with us, they are Imazighen for sure genetically/culturally, many of them speak Tamazight but they are more related to Egyptians compared to the rest of NorthWest Africans, for sure.
Moroccans/Algerians/Tunisians are more related/connected to each other.

Berber/Imazighen are also extremely tribal culturally/historically

Touaregs and other Berbers living in the south (in Fezzan), okay. But the rest of them were urbanized since Carthaginian and Roman times. Tripolitania and Cyrenaica (associated with Crete) were Roman provinces. Ancient Egyptians lived in cities too.
I wonder where Gaddafi's "5 stars neo-nomadism" came from.

Taraabt is arab .. Taraabt is the amazigh name of Arab or arabized , it's that how it's written in arabic ( تعرابت)

Carcela is half amazigh and half spanish i guess.

They are more related to maghrebians (egyptian make me laugh when he says they are not part of Maghreb, I would say only the west is maghrebian) but they are very arabized probably more than egyptians a lot of them will say that they belong to a arab tribe even it's not true

So?

[Sikeliot]

So?

I'm just saying. Don't make anything of it. Chill.

living in a tent isn't an exclusive thing for arabs .. Tribes also isn't exclusive thing for arabs.

it's a fact , Libyans are kinda the most pure race in North Africa.

Most pure race in north africa : algeria and after morocco, genetic companies usually took mozabites algerian as reference for north africans

Touaregs and other Berbers living in the south (in Fezzan), okay. But the rest of them were urbanized since Carthaginian and Roman times. Tripolitania and Cyrenaica (associated with Crete) were Roman provinces. Ancient Egyptians lived in cities too.

His origins are mysterious but it is know that he is jew
