Petite Kabylie or Petite Kabylia (French: La Kabylie; Arabic: al-Qabā'il, القبائل which translates the tribes) is a mountainous region of Northern Algeria. The Kabyle people themselves know it as Tamurt Idurar (The Mountain Land) or Tamurt n Leqvayel (Land of the Kabyles). The Petite Kabylie along with the Grand Kabylie form part of the Atlas range and borders the Mediterranean. The entire Kabylie spreads over several administrative divisions (wilayas) of Algeria - all of Tizi Ouzou and Bejaia (Bgayet), most of Bouira (Tubiret), Bordj Bou Arreridj and parts of the wilayas of M'Sila (Tamsilt), Jijel, Boumerdes, and Setif. While a French colony, the entirety of Kabylie was divided into two départements, Greater (Haute Kabylie) and Lesser (Basse Kabylie).
