People and Groups
Ethnically speaking, Morocco is composed mainly of Arabs and Berbers or a mixture of the two. Sizeable numbers of Berbers live mainly in the country’s mountainous regions, long areas of refuge where they have preserved their language and culture. Some segments of the population are descendants of refugees from Spain and Portugal who fled from the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, that spanned until the 15th century.
Languages
Morocco has two official languages Arabic and Berber, spoken by majority of the country, and French as an recognized national language. French speakers can be found in most of Morocco however, there are larger concentrations of French speakers in bigger cities. Spanish and English are also common languges in Morocco.
