Morocco Languages - Overlanding Africa.com


The official of all Morocco languages you will hear on your Overlanding Africa.com trip is Arabic. Since the country has a history of European influence, most Moroccans also speak French and many can speak a certain degree of Spanish and English. Other languages such as the Berber language of Tamazight are spoken in the Rif and Atlas mountains. Both the Berber language and Arabic are used by many locals.

Most travellers will get by with English and a few key Arabic phrases, and travel experts advise that the best bet is to approach locals with Arabic if you can master a few key phrases, or English if your Arabic is not up to scratch. Generally, the older locals may know French rather than younger Moroccans.
