What is Tounsi?

Tunisian Arabic, the way people actually speak it

Tounsi is the spoken Arabic of Tunisia, also called Derja. It’s quite different from Modern Standard Arabic, the formal language used in news and textbooks. The Tounsi app teaches it using the Latin alphabet—for now, with explanations in German.
