Chinese Academics Mock Arabic Fluency of Their Moroccan Counterparts

Do u remember everything u were taught at school? - I dont.


Virtually all science articles are in English. Besides understanding and talking are two different things. I for example I can understand Ukrainian but cant talk at all.

at most, 30% or even less, I believe.

Do I remember everything that I was taught in school? No, but I lived outside of Pakistan my whole life, and only got 2 years of Urdu language classes, even though my parents have talked to us in English most of our lives, yet I'm fluent in Urdu, I can speak it fluently and I can read/write at an intermediate level.

So if I could remember a language fluently that I barely get to speak , then it's pathetic for this professor to not be able to speak fusHa. And by the way, in Morocco, they don't teach in English, they teach in French and MSA(FusHa). It depends on which subject we're talking about. Maths, geography, sociology, political science, Islamic studies are usually taught in MSA. Whereas chemistry, physics, psychology, anthropology, and other science related subjects are usually taught in French .

One thing you might not know about Moroccan Arabic is that it is not actually Arabic. Yes it came from Arabic. But due to its geographic distance from the Arab core lands, and the influence it had from the native language that the Berber people spoke, the amazigh languages, it has diverged considerably to the point that it's unintelligible to the Arabic spoken in the middle East. A Pakistani can understand Bengali or bihari, or Marathi better than an Arab from Egypt, sham, Iraq or gulf could understand Moroccan Arabic. That's why they call their dialect Darija.
If professors (guys who are teaching students) cant speak MSA, that means they were not taught in MSA either. They had textbooks are in MSA, but thats it.

One thing I have to say, the average Moroccan speaks less fluent fusHa than some other Arab countries I've been to, but that still doesn't justify why a professor of high academia doesn't speak it.
