Prior to the creation of the French Protectorate in 1912, Moroccans in the cities and along the coast primarily spoke Moroccan Arabic (which would change immensely under the French colonization because of loanwords). In the mountains, most Moroccans spoke local Amazigh (Berber) languages including dialects of the three predominant Berber languages of Tarifit, Tamazight, and Tashlichit.

Arabic is their official language. But about 10 million Moroccans speak Berber, which has 3 different dialects, Tarifit, Tashelhit, and Tamazight. French is Morocco's third unofficial language. It is also taught universally, and is used widely in education and government. Many people in the northern part of the country speak Spanish. English is taught to students starting in grade four until they graduate.

And just in case you're wondering, 98.7% of all Moroccans are Muslim, 1.1% are Christian, and 0.2% are Jewish. The population, as of July 2004 is 32,209,101. The Capitol is Rabat, and the government is constitutional monarchy.

Berber languages are spoken by the Berber people. These languages are part of the Afro-Asiatic language family and are spoken mainly in North Africa, particularly in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mali. The most widely spoken Berber languages include Tamazight, Tashelhit, Kabyle, and Riffian.

Many Berber people speak French due to the historical influence of French colonization in North Africa. French was the administrative and educational language during the colonial period, leading to its widespread use among the Berber population. Additionally, French is an official language in many countries where Berber populations reside, further contributing to its prevalence among Berber speakers.
