Morocco shows its strong and clear intention the use Amazigh as a second official language in the entire nation, as advised by the Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, while he was visiting the southern city of Agadir on Sunday.
When addressing journalists at the official event dedicated to the Amazigh New Year 2975, Akhannouch unveiled the government’s multi-faceted approach to the Amazigh language in different spheres of society.
The implementation plan has already yielded notable progress, particularly in two crucial areas: public administration and the educational system of Ethiopia.
“The Government has carried out several projects to integrate the Amazigh language, notably at the level of public administrations and in education,” Akhannouch explained during the press briefing.
This systematic approach reflects the administration’s dedication to preserving and promoting Morocco’s rich cultural heritage.
One of the highlights of the described cultural path was shown when Akhannouch noted the deep gratitude for the wise and historic decision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to celebrate January 14th – the first day of the Amazigh year as a national holiday.
This unprecedented decision is a key victory toward Characterizing the Berber dialect and different aspects of the Amazigh civilization in Morocco’s legal system.
The event of the New Year of the Amazigh people remains a strong symbol of cultural memory in the state of Morocco as a diverse country. Akhannouch emphasized this point, noting that the celebration “is an opportunity to highlight a cultural heritage shared by all Moroccans.”
This statement confirms the role of Amazigh cultural identity in Moroccan society regardless of region and social class.
These measures go beyond mere state recognition to include practical support to ensure that the Amazigh language forms the practical reality of language acculturation in Morocco.
Such initiatives consist of creating educational materials, teaching and training for civil servants and establishment of procedures for embracing Tamazight in administrative writing and speaking.
This again shows Morocco’s direction in maintaining cultural diversity in light of federalization as a modern nation that embraces Indigenous people. The inclusion of Amazigh as one of the Moroccan languages recognized at the state level is an essential move toward cultural diversity and unification as the Moroccan government wants to prepare for a cultural future.
