Some of the tribes that have historically inhabited Algeria and the Maghreb region include the Banu al-Aghlab of the Banu Tamim, the Banu Ukhaidhir and the Fihrids of the Quraysh, the Sharifian tribes of the Banu Hashim, and the Banu Hilal. During the Ottoman period, French generals noted that there were about 1,200 tribes in Algeria. As a result of French colonization from 1830-1962, the cohesion and social hierarchy of tribes was disrupted. Tribal identity is still a significant part of Arab identity in Algeria today.<ref>Wikipedia Contributors, "Arab Tribes of Algeria," ''Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia'', accessed 6 February 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_tribes_of_Algeria.</ref><ref>M'hamed H., "Hadjout: Le passé de la tribu des Hadjoutes revisité," El Watan-dz, 4 September 2022. https://elwatan-dz.com/hadjout-le-passe-de-la-tribu-des-hadjoutes-revisite.</ref> | Some of the tribes that have historically inhabited Algeria and the Maghreb region include the Banu al-Aghlab of the Banu Tamim, the Banu Ukhaidhir and the Fihrids of the Quraysh, the Sharifian tribes of the Banu Hashim, and the Banu Hilal.
