21 Phrases You Need to Know in Three Different Languages When Visiting Morocco
Many languages are spoken in Morocco due to the colonialism—while the Spanish took over the Kingdom of Morocco’s northern region and the Sahara, the French took over the rest of the country. Berber is the initial language of Morocco, spoken before Arabs started settling there, but it is not uncommon to hear Berber, Moroccan Arabic, or French spoken.
