Darija is how Moroccans refer to their dialect of the Arabic language. Over the centuries it has incorporated words and structures from a variety of native and neighboring languages although Arabic remains at the core. Darija is a spoken language and has not typically been considered in a written context. For this reason today one can find Darija written commonly in both Arabic and Latin script. Darija is spoken by about 90% of Moroccans today accounting for about 30 million people. This course is meant for English speaking students in order to introduce Darija's basic phonetics, vocabulary and core grammatical structures.
