    For some background for those who may not be versed with northern African history: a large part of Morocco used to actually be a French “territory” (more to unpack there) as such the three main languages in Morocco are: Moroccan, Arabic and French. The latter of which made it perfect for a call center.

    Bonus fun fact: Morocco was the first county to recognize US independence back in 1776

      By morrocan language, are you thinking of berber? Because that wouldn’t be limited to Morroco. What is coloquially titulated as morrocan is arabic (with the local specificities)

        Referring more to Moroccan Arabic. My friend who is a native mentioned that there is enough of a difference it can trip people up who aren’t expecting it (kinda like Portuguese vs Spanish, or Castilian Spanish vs some of the Latin dialects)
