It is adjacent to Algeria, Spain and the disputed territory of Western Sahara. Its area covers 446,550 square kilometres. The country\u2019s capital is Rabat. One of his most important buildings is Dar El-Makhzen Palace, the residence of the Moroccan King \u2013 Muhammad VI \u2013 and his family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morocco attracts people with its oriental architecture, aromatic kitchen (have you already tried the legendary combination of lamb with pickled lemons?), vast desert and exotic culture. The country has a significant number of international airports, so visiting tourists can choose from many cities: cosmopolitan Casablanca, royal Rabat, soulful Fez, colourful Marrakesh or seaside Agadir.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The population of Morocco has reached almost 38 million people (source: worldometers.info). A significant part of the country\u2019s residents is of Arabic or Berber origin; some of them identify as Gnawa or Haratin. There are many inequalities in living standards between people from big cities and rural areas. Almost 100% of the population profess Sunni Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Languages_of_Morocco\"><\/span>Languages of Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two official languages in Morocco: Arabic and Amazigh (Berber). <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/skrivanek.pl\/en\/french\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">French<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also in use, especially in the tourist and economy industry. Due to historical and business reasons, the northern part of the country has a considerable number of Spanish speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moroccan_Arabic_Darija\"><\/span>Moroccan Arabic (Darija)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standard Arabic (Fusha) is considered a prestigious language in Morocco. However, Moroccan Arabic (Darija) is more widespread. It is known to the majority of the population (from 80 to 90%). Many speakers of Berber languages learn it as a second language (source: worldatlas.com). This dialect resembles the variations of Arabic present in Mauritania, Algeria, and Tunisia. It shares around 70<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">75% of the vocabulary with Literary Arabic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a long time, people didn\u2019t write in Darija; for that purpose, Literary Arabic was used. The first work in Moroccan was a zejel titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mala&#8217;bat al-Kafif az-Zarhuni<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Al-Kafif az-Zarhuni dating back to the 14<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century. Until today, there is no standard written form. In online communication, the Latin alphabet is used. Those sounds that are not present in English or French are substituted with numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large portion of vocabulary entered Darija from Literary Arabic, Amazigh, French and Spanish.

id=\"Amazigh\"><\/span>Amazigh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazigh is a different name of the Berber language family used in the countries of Maghreb. In 2011, it got recognized as the second official language of Morocco. It is hard to tell the exact number of its users, as the sources give very different data. This is probably because there are usually no questions about language background in censuses conducted in Arab countries. In Morocco, Amazigh is present normally in the family context. In official situations, Darija or Standard Arabic are preferred.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"French\"><\/span>French<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">French is a prestigious language in Morocco. It has been traditionally used in administration, business relations and diplomacy. Some schools offer education in the French language. The country belongs to the International Organization of Francophonie. It is estimated that around 35% of Morocco&#8217;s population knows French on an advanced level (source: Morocco World News) and the majority understand texts written in that language.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spanish\"><\/span>Spanish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to historical reasons, Spanish is present mainly in the northern part of Morocco (and the disputed territory of Western Sahara). It is even possible to watch television broadcasting in this language. In the survey conducted in 2005 by Barcelona Centre for International Affairs, almost 22% of citizens declared the ability to speak Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you in need of translators from many languages: Arabic, English, French, Spanish and others, as your company operates in a multicultural environment?
