The Diccionario de árabe marroquí (Dictionary of Moroccan Arabic) is a dictionary based on usage for both Moroccan Arabic and Spanish. The vocabulary which it contains was taken mainly from southern Morocco, though it can be used to achieve understanding throughout the entire country and includes certain specific words from the dialect of the north, as well as some words from classical and standard Arabic used in the people’s regular speech and by official institutions. It includes usage examples for verbs, prepositions, possessive adjectives, etc., as well as an appendix on Arab grammar and conjugation. It attempts to serve as an educational work for students of both languages and is also useful for Spanish citizens residing in Morocco.
