The third person masculine singular past tense form serves as the "dictionary form" used to identify a verb like the infinitive in English. Arabic has no infinitive. For example, the verb meaning "write" is often specified as kteb , which actually means "he wrote". The verb classes in Moroccan are formed along two axes. The first or derivational axis described as "form I", "form II", etc. The second or weakness axis described as "strong", "weak", "hollow", "doubled" or "assimilated" is determined by the specific consonants making up the root, especially whether a particular consonant is a "w" or " y", and mostly involves varying the nature and location of the vowels of a stem form.
It is important to distinguish between strong, weak, etc. In this section, all verb classes and their corresponding stems are listed, excluding the small number of irregular verbs described above. Verb roots are indicated schematically using capital letters to stand for consonants in the root:.
The following table lists the prefixes and suffixes to be added to mark tense, person, number, gender and the stem form to which they are added. The forms involving a vowel-initial suffix and corresponding stem PA v or NP v are highlighted in silver. The forms involving a consonant-initial suffix and corresponding stem PA c are highlighted in gold. The forms involving no suffix and corresponding stem PA 0 or NP 0 are not highlighted. The following table lists the verb classes along with the form of the past and non-past stems, active and passive participles, and verbal noun, in addition to an example verb for each class.
Boldfaced forms indicate the primary differences from the corresponding forms of kteb , which apply to many classes of verbs in addition to form II strong:. The primary differences are:. Hollow have a W or Y as the middle root consonant. Note that for some forms e. Like all verbs whose stem begins with a single consonant, the prefixes differ in the following way from those of regular and weak form I verbs:. In addition, the past tense has two stems: Doubled verbs have the same consonant as middle and last root consonant, e.
This term is in fact a misnomer, as such verbs actually behave as normal weak verbs e. In general, Moroccan language is one of the most innovative in the technical sense of "least conservative" of all Arabic languages. Now, Moroccan language or Darija continues to integrate new French words, mainly technological and modern words.
Moroccan Arabic - Wikipedia
However, in recent years, constant exposure to revived classical forms 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 counterparts or even speaking in Modern Standard Arabic while keeping the Moroccan accent to sound less pedantic. The phenomenon mostly occurs among literate people. Though rarely written, Moroccan language is currently undergoing an unexpected and pragmatic revival.
It is now the preferred language in Moroccan chat rooms or for sending SMS , using Arabic Chat Alphabet composed of Latin letters supplemented with the numbers 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 and 9 for coding specific Arabic sounds, as is the case with other Arabic speakers.

The language continues to evolve quickly as can be noted by consulting the Colin dictionary. Many words and idiomatic expressions recorded between and are now obsolete. Some Moroccan speakers, in the territory previously known as French Morocco , also practice code-switching. On the other hand, some Arab nationalist Moroccans generally attempt to avoid French and Spanish in their speech, consequently, their speech tends to resemble old Andalusian Arabic. There exists some poetry written in Moroccan language like the Malhun. In the troubled and autocratic Morocco of the s, Years of Lead , the legendary Nass El Ghiwane band wrote beautiful and allusive lyrics in Moroccan that were very appealing to the youth even in other Maghreb countries.
Another interesting movement is the development of an original rap music scene, which explores new and innovative usages of the language. The first known scientific productions written in Moroccan were released on the Web in early by Moroccan teacher and physician Farouk Taki El Merrakchi, three average-sized books dealing with physics and mathematics Example here.

The adventure is so well written and with humour as well as humility that the reader felt as though they were actually out there with these guys. It was great to see that they felt they were intruding and privileged to be there observing the real people in these places and, that they wished the scenes left undisturbed to avoid the arrival of hoards of tourist traffic in the future.
I am now about to search for their next adventure. Many thanks for the experience. One person found this helpful. Not only a great travelogue but reflections of humanity.
Very descriptive and interesting Felt as if I were along the ride I also bought other bike trips books from the same author. This is the account of a trip that only the riders themselves can relate to.
I have no dreams of torturing my body or my bike by going in deep, soft sand at the verge of the desert. There does not seem to be a transferable interest in accomplishing any of the forays related here. I do not regret having tried you as an author and story teller; I will keep the Wakhan Corridor and will purge the others from my electronic library. Fantastic book, well written, great personal insights from the author.
Of interest only to tourists riding motorcycles.
