How did the 2011 constitution change the status of the Tamazight language in Morocco?

The 2011 constitution marked a significant shift in Moroccan policy by elevating Tamazight to the status of an official language of the country. Prior to this constitutional change, Arabic was the sole official language. This recognition acknowledges the cultural heritage of the Amazigh people, whose language is spoken by approximately one-third of the population and is now integrated into the educational system.12
