Is Morocco an Arab country?
When the Arabs conquered Morocco during the Rise of Islam, they originally made a distinction between themselves and the indigenous Amazigh (Berber) Tribes. When Morocco became independent of the Ummayad Caliphate in the 700s, Arabs began to intermarry with Amazigh relatively freely. Most Moroccans are now a mix, genetically, of Arabs and Amazigh. However, most Arabs use the Arabic Language as a way of deciding who is an Arab more than they use genetics. Most Moroccans who speak Arabic or Derija-Maghribiya (the Moroccan dialect of Arabic) both consider themselves and are considered as Arabs. Moroccans for whom their primary language is an Amazigh language (such as Tarifit, Tamazighit, or Tashlichit, among others), consider themselves Amazigh. Foreigners typically do not note a physical difference between Amazigh-identifying and Arab-identifying Moroccans.
