In Middle Ages, Ifriqiya or Ifriqiyah (Arabic language: إفريقية) was the area comprising most of modern-day Tunisia and eastern Algeria, roughly equivalent to the Roman province of Africa (province). Ifriqiya was bounded on the south by the semi-arid areas and salt marshes called el-Djerid. At various times, the rulers of this area also conquered Sicily and parts of mainland Italy, and the western boundary was in continual flux but usually went as far as Bejaia. Its capital was Kairouan (Kairouan) in central Tunisia. In modern Arabic, the term simply means "Africa". It derives from the Latin term ''Africa'' of uncertain (either Berber languages, Punic, or Greek language) origin. ==See also== *Aghlabid *Zirid *Hafsid *Maghreb *Afariqa History of the Maghreb Tunisia

User:Aziri 11:30, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC) No - ''Africa'' is the Latin word for Africa, the ''Afri'' are a Berber tribe, and ''Afer'' may or may not be a Berber word; some scholars say it's from Punic `afar, some say it's from Greek, some say it's from Berber. Read the Africa article for more details. - User:Mustafaa 09:12, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
