Tunisia, republic of northern Africa, bounded on the north and east by the Mediterranean Sea, on the south by Libya, and on the west by Algeria. The total area is 164,418 sq km (63,482 sq mi). Tunisia's Mediterranean coast is indented by many harbors and inlets, notably the gulfs of Tunis, Hammamet, and Qabis. The Gulf of Gabès contains the islands of Jarbah (Djerba) and Qarqanah (Kerkennah). The total length of coastline is 1,150 km (713 mi). Tunisia has a population of 9,645,499 (2000 estimate), yielding an average population density of 59 persons per sq km (152 per sq mi). About three-quarters of the population lived in the coastal region. The arid central and southern parts make up 70 percent of the total land area, but contain less than 30 percent of the population.Throughout history, many peoples, including Romans, Vandals, black Africans, and Arabs, have invaded or settled in the region that is now Tunisia. Tunisians, however, are essentially of Berber stock, although fewer than 2 percent speak the Berber language. As a result of Arabization, Arabic has become the language of the Tunisian people, who have come to regard themselves as Arabs. The capital and largest city of Tunisia is the seaport of Tunis, with a population of 674,100 in 1994. Other important cities include Sfax (230,900); Susah, or Sousse (125,000); and Bizerte (98,900).
