Given that I am Spanish, this is the Arabic dialect I am most used to (for obvious reasons). In fact if you get yourself enrolled in Arabic language courses in any language school or in college here, chances are the native teachers are all Moroccans and will teach you Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) and Darija (Moroccan Arabic dialect) equally. I could even detect some Spanish loanwords or at least words that sound almost identical to Spanish, like "Carta", "Carro/Cochi", "Rwida", "Lavabo" or "Couzina".
Interestingly, I know the word for pillow in Spanish is almohada, which is of Arabic origin from the times when Iberian peninsula was under Arabic rule. In Darija it is m'khada, sounds kind of similar.
“Dekhl souq rassek” is one of the most important phrases that foreigners must learn, it simply means “mind your business “ cause a lot of Moroccans like to get their noses in everything 😂
Lebanese native Arabic speaker here. I loved loved loved this video. Never been to Morocco, but I hope I can visit one day. Since I speak Levant-Arabic and obviously read Modern Standard, since the reader was speaking at a medium pace, I could make out like 50% of what he was saying and kind of get the gist of it. I had to go back and re-read the transcript in English get the more complete understanding. Such a fascinating Arabic dialect along with their Algerian, Tunisian, and Mauritanian neighbors.

Interesting, I can hear the Amazigh pronunciation along with the French and Spanish loanwords. I'm assuming that Arabic was used as a lingua franca between those who spoke different native languages and later evolved into what we know as Moroccan Darija.
Not necessarily a lingua franca per se since most everybody would be speaking Tamazight beforehand, but rather a language of culture, religion, literature etc, that was acquired imperfectly.
@@connormurphy683 Makes sense. So Moroccan Darija developed from the Amazighs of the past who spoke Arabic as a 2nd language and taught it to their offspring, which became their native language.
@@waxupreme7083 yes indeed they didnt, Amazighian language been since the age of old Egypt or before, Otomons tried to spread to us but Amazighs defended Moroccan kingdom back then so they have been just in north algeria and tunsia.

What a beautiful Language. I hope some day it will be recognize as official written language. Because people have the right to learn and read in their mother tongue. MSA is only for classic literature and international communication with Arabic countries.
Greetings from Azerbaijan. As far as I know, the Moroccans are (mostly) Arabizied Amazighs so I guess there should be some Amazigh influence on this. Do the Moroccans still have Amazigh words (maybe pronunciation) in their language or not?
The influence of Amazigh languages on Moroccan Darija is mainly phonological, for example the use of "very" short vowels and consonant clusters, and when it comes to consonants, for example in amazigh there are two versions of "z" sound, which surprisingly we have both of them in Moroccan Darija, like the word "zwa", it has two meanings depending on the pronunciation of the "z", and the same for the "r" sound. The vocabulary is mainly of arabic origin (andalusian and bedouin), but there are many words of amazigh origin like: mush, sarout, tamara, fekroun, ... And sometimes we tend to derive nouns in the Amazigh way, for example: tabnayt, tagzart, tahramit, ...
Moroccans, Algerians, Tunisians and Libyans are all Amazigh with strong Influence from Arabia yes. Our language is called Tamazight and we don’t call Moroccan Arabic “Arabic” we just call it Darija as it is it’s own language it sounds completely different from Modern Standard Arabic with an very different grammar. I thank you for knowing that we are Amazigh and not arab. Love to Azerbaijan.
@@Maghribimuslim hello, I have the curiosity to know how similar and intelligible is the Standard Moroccan Amazigh to the spoken Amazigh languages in Morocco, so do you understand the Standard Amazigh spoken in TV?
My mom's father tongue (along with Israeli dialected Hebrew, which is much more significantly used by both of us since we're living in israel) :). I know some standard Arabic myself since it's an official language here in Israel, and I can definitely see a lot of French influence and even some different grammatical structures.

I am not in anyway a nathionalist,but I believe North Africa should be united, Morroco, Algeria, Tunis. Ana meshni nationaliste khlah, basseħ(Kelma meshha Għarbiya )belli L'afrique du nord lazem tkun mwehda/uni: Marrok, Dzair Tunis.
I saw you everywhere in Maltese videos. You're either Tunisian or Maltese in them. About Arab identity and stuff. Maltese is a polluted Arabic, etc. Damn, actually some of your comments in other videos seem to be too harsh, please remove them.
This is good but note that Moroccan Darija is very different from area to another. This is mostly the language of casablanca area, this will change slightly as you go to Rabat and changes significantly as you go north. Also, Marrakech dialect is more influenced by Tamazight.
>Different language >Not a dialect I don't think the unintelligibility is quite as dramatic as you might think. Yeah, we can say dominican spanish is "unintelligible" to spanish mainland speakers, but that's only because of pronunciation and rapidity of speech. Kind of the same situation here. MOST words (like 90%) are basically very similar or identical to other arabic dialects, it's the berber-influenced phonology and speaking at a million miles per hour that throws off "sharqi" (eastern) arabs. As someone else said below, if you basically slow down speech and enunciate every word for dramatic effect, I'm pretty sure many eastern arabs will be able to understand this dialect of their language. See also: Scottish english (Scots) vs received pronunciation, would you call scottish english a whole different LANGUAGE just because they speak fast and have a super thicc accent and it's difficult to understand?
The language becomes a language when it gets officially standardized, Urdu and Hindi are intelligible, but they are considered different languages for being standardized in different ways/writing systems (because of politics)
I consider darija an independent language derived from classical arabic, with some influence in term of phonology from amazigh and in term of vocabulary from latin languages. So it's an arabic language with an arabic grammar.
i get where you’re coming from but you can’t compare it to scotland english and other english, because this has manyyy different words from the middle easterners, it’s not only the pronunciation and rapidity
Some people already said the propsed theory that it came from the word (Zouj) meaning couple..... its still a theory tho, another xample is the Tunisian Darija where they call the number (Zooz), which could also have the same origin, strengthening this theory, but it still does not prove it. you could see that the letter (Th) whether its pronounced as (theory) or (That), is always dropped in Arabic dialects, it is replaced with (Z - T - D - or S), so maybe that's why the nuumber 2 was changed too much unlike the other numbers......
Many of them aren't even intelligible to each other. In fact Darija/Moroccan Arabic seems to be almost impossible to understand for non-Maghrebi Arabs.
It's very hard to answer the question, and any given number is going to make some people mad. Remember that Arabic is ONE language, sometimes called Fusha, which is the language in which, acording to Muslim tradition, Muhammad wrote the Qur'an Now, what's the deal then? Well, That ONE language (Arabic) in which the Qur'an was written, was spoken about a milenium ago. And was spread arround a very big area throughout the middle east and the northern part of Africa. So while most Muslim areas spoke Arabic after the Muslim Conquest. Over the last Milenium their languages began to diverge from the standard Arabic adopting loanwords from other Languages. And the natural changes in phonology and the preferred gramatical structures (For example most dialects now are SVO instead of the classical VSO). Making the local languages very distinct from the classical Arabic Language The thing is that a lot of these local dialects are so different that it would be valid to concider them different languages, but their people mostly don't. Sometimes for valid linguistic reasons. Somethimes for cultural and religious reasons which are just as valid (Language is very much a part of a culture) (There are exceptions. The Morrocan People tend toconcider their dialect (Derija) a distinct language. And the island of Malta speaks a dialect of Arabic that's very influenced by Italian and which is by most concidered a distinct Language from Arabic) Ok but they why can't I give you a number? Because most of this changes where local, and occurred on a smooth continuum. Where whenever you are I'm the Arabic world, you can understand the dialect of your closest city. Then is kinda hard to concider each city a different dialect. But then if you keep going you are eventually going to stop being able to understand. So you have to trace the line SOMEWHERE, acording to whatever arbitrary measure. In general you can mostly assume that each Arabic countries has its own dialect. And that would mostly work for practical purposes. Another measure is to divide the dialects in two categories. Easter and Western. Where dialects in each one should be able to understand other dialect the same category. But have a hard time with the other category. Which can also be a helpful way to visualize
@@ivanmacgar6447 Moroccan Arabic is a dialect contiuum, the more they go east, the less they'll understand even if they understand other Arabic dialects speakers and vice versa to stay realistic.
I just found Maghribi's dialect is difficult when my lecturer speaks with his language🥲 so I need to study the dialect a bit too so I can understand what he said😭
As someone from Marrakech There's so many different words Also it's kinda not the classic arabic It's like Moroccan street accent Class Moroccan people don't talk like that
As a person that speaks fluently Arabic and French, with a little knowledge of Spanish, I can see all the influence of these languages had on the Moroccan dialect, yet I'm having a hard time understanding it on my own 💀
As algero-tunisian, I trust in the Morrocan darija style supremacy 🙏😔 (althought I basically don't understand one damn single word, were do yall hide the vowels? )
Well I gotta try to learn Moroccan to surprise my husband I just speak Spanish as my first language and a fluent English but Arabic oh my gosh is not easy for me don't know why 😭😭😭😭😭
contrary to what most think, most of their language influence comes from latin languages rather than tamazight, and a product of not pronouncing vowels is not due to berber influence
Wrong, darija is basically arabic with some influence in term of vocabulary from latin languages and and some influence in term of phonology from amazigh languages
Romance languages don't have an extreme amount of vowel reduction. Nor do they have any other linguistic similarities with Moroccan Darija. So yes, including this, some grammar elements and Moroccan Darija's phonology come straight from Tamazight languages. But keep on lying to yourself and pretend everything comes from Arabs.
it's as if moroccans pronounce arabic as it is written: without vowels lmao
Kinda the same in Algeria Tunisia and Libya but Moroccans really take it to another level. Interesting remark Tho!

At first I thought so but he really good at changing accents
Darija should get standardized in Latin script and used instead of classic Arabic in Morocco and Algeria
Yes
Morocco will maintain its arabic identity believe it or not
@@yassintriggerdellarobia nothing arab about morocco
Well I gotta try to learn Moroccan to surprise my husband I just speak Spanish as my first language and a fluent English but Arabic oh my gosh is not easy for me don't know why 😭😭😭😭😭
Don't learn moroccan Arabic just learn normal classical arabic
I'm only here to know how to sound like Cypher
the hardest language ever:
Fun fact: the Yemenite Arab is same as the morroccan dialect but without amazigh and European influence
That’s not true. I have a yemeni friend here in the United States and he can not understand Darija.
Can you speak Arabic? Yemeni and Moroccan Arabic are COMPLETELY different.

It sounds like Maltese and Tunusian Arabic!
Darija is similiar to the Fusha.

Request:Kuwaiti Arabic Dialect
this isnt arabic man
contrary to what most think, most of their language influence comes from latin languages rather than tamazight, and a product of not pronouncing vowels is not due to berber influence
Wrong, darija is basically arabic with some influence in term of vocabulary from latin languages and and some influence in term of phonology from amazigh languages
Romance languages don't have an extreme amount of vowel reduction. Nor do they have any other linguistic similarities with Moroccan Darija. So yes, including this, some grammar elements and Moroccan Darija's phonology come straight from Tamazight languages. But keep on lying to yourself and pretend everything comes from Arabs.
semi arabic-semi french
Wtf 😂
