The Moroccan Arabic dialect, called in Morocco darija (ar) الدارجة (/dæɾiʒæ/) resembles several varieties of Arabic dialect spoken in Morocco. It belongs to the group of Maghrebi dialects. The word darija therefore specifically designates the dialects used by the Arabic-speaking Moroccan population, while in the Middle East the term arabia 'ammia (fluent Arabic) is used. Moroccan Arabic, as a mother tongue or serving as a lingua franca for communication between Arabic speakers and Berber speakers, is spoken by more than 30 million people in Morocco and by several hundred thousand in countries of Moroccan emigration.
