Darija Translator — English to Moroccan Arabic (Latin)

Darija is the colloquial Arabic spoken in Morocco. It's distinct from Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and has heavy influences from Berber, French, and Spanish. Most Moroccans speak Darija as their first language.

Darija is most commonly written in Latin characters online and in casual messaging, often with numbers replacing Arabic-specific sounds (2 for hamza, 3 for ayn, 7 for ḥ). Latin transliteration is how young Moroccans actually text.

'Salam' (السلام) means peace and is the universal Arabic greeting, used across all Arabic-speaking countries including Morocco. Full 'salam alaykum' (peace be upon you) is more formal.
