''Beur'' (or alternatively, ''Rebeu'') is a colloquial term to designate European born people whose parents or grandparents are immigrants from North Africa.〔(Beur ). Larousse Dictionary. Accessed 2011-04-25〕 The equivalent term for a female beur is a beurette. The term Rebeu is neither applicable to females nor does it have a female version. The word beur was coined using backslang by reversing the syllables of the word ''arabe'', which means Arabic or Arab in French. For example, "arabe" becomes "a-ra-beu" then "beu-ra-a" and "beur" by contraction. Since the late 1990s, a lot of young people have used the twice-verlanised term ''Rebeu'' as a synonym. This term is now the dominant term used by the younger generations (under 30). The word Beurette, the female version of beur is created by adding the -ette female suffix in French. In French many slang words are created by simply reversing the word in terms of spelling and then reading it out. Because of French grammar rules, the new word is usually completely different than reversing the word phonetically. The word ''beurgeois'' is derived from a combination of the words ''beur'' and ''bourgeois''. The term is slightly familiar and not advised in formal speech with respect to etiquette though it will be used in the media. The term ''Beur'' is used to refer to all the Arabs from either Maghreb or Mashreq areas of the Arab world born in France. The term beur of French origin, and as such was traditionally mostly used in French-speaking European countries such as France (where the term originates), Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg and Switzerland, as well as in North Africa. Due to cultural integration between such peoples across Europe, the term is now popular in other parts of Europe with a large North African community, such as the UK, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy. Someone who is a North African from Europe is not necessarily a Beur: the term is applied to those who have a hybrid culture between their North African roots and their status as someone who was born and raised in Europe. There is a big difference between a French Moroccan and a Beur, for instance. There is a strong identity and solidarity between these people that exists irrespective of which North African country one comes from, nor the European country they were raised in: a French Algerian will see another French Algerian as they would a French Moroccan, a Belgium Moroccan or a Belgian Algerian. The term can apply to people of any race or religion, such as Arabs, Berbers, Whites or Jews or Blacks who originate from North Africa. Since 1992, the BEUR.FM〔(BEUR.FM ). Accessed 201-01-11〕 radio station has broadcast nationwide (106.7 FM in Paris). It specializes in North African Arab music and other genres (funk, rap,...) discussion, and news. ==See also== *Arabs in France *Arabs in Europe *Demographics of France *Islam in France *Arab diaspora *''Neuilly sa mère !'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
