Demographics of Tunisia
The majority (99% ) of modern Tunisians are Arabized Berber or Arab-Berber, and are speakers of Tunisian Arabic. However, there is also a small (1 percent at most) minority of indigenous Berbers inhabiting mainly the Jabal Dahar mountains in the South East and on the island of Djerba. The Berbers primarily speak Berber languages, often called Shilha or Tashlihit, or have shifted to Tunisian Arabic.
Nearly all Tunisians (99 percent of the population) are Muslim. There is a Jewish population on the southern island of Djerba and Tunis. There also exists a small autochthonous group of Christian adherents.
