Morocco, a North African country bordering the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, is distinguished by its Berber, Arabian and European cultural influences. Moroccan Arabic language is spoken in Morocco, as a first language by about 50% to 75% of Morocco's population. Moroccan Arabic, along with Berber, is one of two languages spoken in homes and on the street.The language is not used in writing .The other half speaks one of the Tamazight languages. Educated Moroccan Tamazight-speakers can communicate in mainstream Moroccan Arabic. It has been heavily influenced mainly by the Berber languages and to a lesser extent by Latin (African Romance), Punic, Persian, French, and Spanish. Now, Moroccan Arabic continues to integrate new French words, even English ones due to its influence as the modern lingua franca, mainly technological and modern words. However, in recent years, constant exposure to modern standard arabic on television and in print media and a certain desire among many Moroccans for a revitalization of an Arab identity has inspired many Moroccans to integrate words from Modern Standard Arabic, replacing their French or Spanish or otherwise any no Arabic counterparts or even speaking in Modern Standard Arabic while keeping the Moroccan accent to sound less formal.
