Algeria and Tunisia
The names of the Gregorian months in Algeria and Tunisia are based on the French names of the months, reflecting France's long colonization of these countries (1830-1962, 132 years, in Algeria and 1881-1956, 75 years, in Tunisia). The original French names are therefore listed below.
