This paper attempts to investigate dialect preservation and maintenance exercised by females from distinct age cohorts in the sedentary context of Tlemcen speech community. Following a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data collected from a survey interview, the results confirm the research hypothesis that despite the extensive spread of dialect contact, accommodation and change, female speakers play a significant role in the maintenance of this indigenous urban variety of Arabic spoken in Tlemcen which, according to the participants’ attitudes, is considered as a symbol of identity affiliation, social prestige and high-status belonging.
