Comments on speakers
"When the family and friends sit together they speak MA [Moroccan Arabic] with some Berber unless there is someone else who only speaks MA then the entire conversation is in MA. It must be said that they turn to MA very often and that Berber is mostly used for every day and simple phrases."
