@ButterflyOfFire I don't understand the mixing of "ⴴ" and "ⵖ". They should just pick one already.

@ButterflyOfFire Say that Pan-Arabists 😅 they think Arabic doesn't have a single loan word.

@ButterflyOfFire It's actually worse: they consider Tamazight a sub-dialect of Darija which is a dialect of Arabic.
Which means that according to their logic, Tachelhit or Kabyle are sub-dialects of a dialect of a dialect 😂

This is absolutely not an isolated incident. Just last year, The King Fahd Higher School of Translation in Tangier labeled Tamazight a "foreign language" on its student application website.

Ironically, the first two words of their abstract are "Moroccan law." If they even bothered to read the most foundational legal text in the country, the Constitution, they would know that Tamazight is an official language, not a sub-dialect.

These are supposed to be researchers and scientists; they should know better! I can't help but be reminded of the Moroccan Darija saying: "غير كوّر و عطي للعور" (Just make a ball and give it to the blind one—meaning, do a sloppy job).

This influence extends beyond vocabulary, reaching into its very grammar—a fact even many Tamazight speakers don't realize or discuss often enough! And what meaningful influence did Portuguese even have on Darija? I consider myself a bit of a linguistics nerd, and I honestly still can't think of a single Darija word of Portuguese origin.
