The main official language of Morocco is Arabic, although French also has official status and is used widely in business, government, and higher education. Moroccan Arabic, called Derija (literally, “dialect”), is the most widely spoken tongue. Derija is quite different from the classical Arabic of the Qur'an (Koran). Access to satelite television means many Moroccans understand Arabic dialects in neighboring countries. Imazighen peoples, or some 60 percent of the population, speak Amazigh dialects in addition to Arabic. Prominent dialects include Tashilhayt (spoken in the High Atlas and Sous Valley), Tarifit (Rif region), and Tamazight (Middle Atlas region). Hasaniya, an Arabic dialect, is spoken around Goulmima and in the south, including Western Sahara. Spanish can still be heard in the north, which was formerly under Spanish control. English is gaining popularity.

Agriculture is the backbone of the economy, employing about 40 percent of the labor force. Most agricultural production is carried out by subsistence farmers, but a small modern sector produces enough food to account for 30 percent of all export earnings. Morocco has the world's third largest deposit of phosphate, which accounts for about 20 percent of export earnings. Other significant industries are food processing, leather goods, textiles, construction, and tourism. Morocco's small manufacturing sector is growing. Morocco has a small stock market, one of the first in the Arab world. About 15 percent of the labor force works abroad, primarily in Western Europe. The money these workers send back to Morocco helps offset the country's foreign debt. Chronically high unemployment, illiteracy, a large government bureaucracy, and inefficient state-owned industries remain economic challenges. The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD).
