Changes

The official language is Arabic though the dialects spoken in Morocco and [[Algeria]] are significantly different from Modern Standard Arabic and dialects found in the [[Middle East]] and other parts of [[Africa]]. French is a common language of business and among educated people and in major cities will be almost universally understood. Many people in the north speak Spanish, and you will likely also find it useful in Western Sahara. The major Berber languages are fascinating but the effort required to learn them is probably too great for a casual tourist.
