Abstract

Ibn khaldun accepts the idea that the Arabic Language par excellence is the one in which the Koran was written, the rest of all Arabic variants being explained as a later deformation. This idea has survived in academic circles around the world almost to the present day. Contrary to this view, we defend that the Moroccan Arabic does not derive from the educated variant, even if sharing a common trunk, being in addition a living and creative language widely used nowadays in writing novels, poetry, theatre or in translation of works from the western literature.
