| Tunisia
(or
formally, the Republic of Tunisia) is a country in North Africa. Tunis
is its capital. Its Northern and Eastern parts face the Mediterranean
Sea, and it has borders with Algeria to the West and the South. It also
has borders with Libya to the South. A big part of it is in the Sahara
Desert. As of 2004, there were 9,974,722 people living in Tunisia.
Its official language is Arabic, but French and English are spoken by many
people too. Tamazigt, formerly called Berber, is another language spoken
by the old Saharan people. Phoenicians settled the city of Carthage
in what is now Tunisia, and this became a rich and great country. They
fought against Rome and lost. The Romans destroyed the city of Carthage
once and for all. As part of the Roman Empire, this area was called the
province of Africa. They rebuilt Carthage as its capital. Later, Arabs
conquered this area, and since then people have spoken Arabic. Tunisia
became independent from France on March 20, 1956. Films like Star
Wars and Life of Brian were made there. |
