Arab and Amazigh (Berber) are Morocco’s two national languages. Modern Standard Arabic is used in government papers, the media, and schools. In everyday life, most people speak Moroccan Arabic, also called Darija.
People also speak Amazigh languages, like Tamazight and Tachelhit, mostly in rural areas and among Berber groups. Moroccans also speak French, especially in business, government, and schools, because of the country’s long history with France. Many Moroccans know more than one language. They often speak English or Spanish, especially in tourist areas, along with Arabic and Amazigh.
