- Abstract
Currently, Morocco has two main written languages namely Classical / Standard Arabic and French. Amazigh and Moroccan Arabic, the two mother tongues of the country, are used, most of the time, for oral communication, having no Koine. Moroccan Arabic Dialect (MA), like many other languages of the world, has been subject to different influences that resulted from the historical heritage of the country. Study of the 'archeology' of MA was initiated by foreign researchers since the beginning of the twentieth century, work continues at the national and international. The 'Darija', like many languages of the world, carries the memorial footprints of any history of the country, among others, contacts: variants of Amazigh, important background of the Arabic (Koranic, pre and post hilalien) and that of Muslim Andalusia, Hebrew, the languages of the Iberian Peninsula and the French. These contacts resulted in a multitude of linguistic interference that reflects Moroccan Arabic and we are currently seeing with the rise of the media, the move towards a form of standardization of the language, spontaneously initiated by the youth in large urban centers, particularly in Casablanca.
