The official languages of Morocco are Arabic and Tamazight.12
Arabic is spoken by approximately two-thirds of the population, with Modern Standard Arabic being the version taught in schools. Tamazight, the language of the Imazighen (also known as Berber), is spoken by about one-third of the population and was officially recognized as an official language in 2011.12
While these are the official languages, other languages are also widely used in the country. French serves as an important secondary language, and both Spanish and English are also commonly spoken.12
