The Arabic language is spoken in many North African countries because of Islam. The Koran (the Islamic holy book) is only written in Arabic. (While there are translations of the Koran, they aren't not considered the true word of God) When Islam spread to Africa, so did did Arabic. The dialects of Arabic in North African countries are very different due to combining Arabic with Colonial languages and tribal languages. For instance, in Algeria, there is a heavy French influence on the dialect.

Over time, it integrated with the local languages and dialects to form distinct regional variants of Arabic spoken in countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt.
