Resumen de The influence of the Berber language on Moroccan Arabic
Moroccan Arabic is much influenced by Berber phonetics, phonology, morphology, and lexicon because Berber Speakers have carried over many structural features of their native language into this variety of Arabic, to the extent that Middle East Arabic Speakers can hardly communicate with Moroccans unless they resort to the classical variety of Arabic. For this reason, Moroccan Arabic is phonologically and morphologically more distant from Classical Arabic or the Middle East colloquial varieties than it is from Berber. As a consequence of the important impact of Berber, the everyday Arabic variety spoken in the Maghrebi region äs a whole is linguistically distinct from that in the Middle East areat especially at the phonological and morphological levels.
