A Conventional Orthography for Algerian Arabic

International audience Algerian Arabic is an Arabic dialect spoken in Algeria characterized by the absence of writing resources and standardization, hence it is considered as an under-resourced language. It differs from Modern Standard Ara-bic on all levels of linguistic representation, from phonology and morphology to lexicon and syntax. In this paper, we present a conventional orthography for Algerian Arabic, following a previous effort on developing a conventional orthography for Dialectal Ara-bic (or CODA), demonstrated for Egyptian and Tunisian Arabic. We explain the design principles of Algerian CODA and provide a detailed description of its guidelines.
