Language and essential vocabulary

Visiting a country, is also learning a new language.

Morocco has two official languages, Arabic and Amazigh. French is also spoken and understood by almost all Moroccans.

Spanish is widely spoken in the northern and southern regions of Morocco.

The Amazigh language, whose alphabet is Tifinagh, is the common heritage of all Moroccans.

Classical or literary Arabic is only used in administrative contexts. Darija (Moroccan dialect) is the oral language used in Morocco, which is a mixture of Arabic, Amazigh, French and Spanish.

There are certain words in Darija that you need to know in order to communicate with local inhabitants easily. With this vocabulary you’ll no longer be a novice visitor, as you’ll prove that you are making an effort to make the most of your stay.

Here are some expressions and words that will help you throughout your stay in Morocco :
