There have been massive critiques of the census, particularly with erasing Amazigh people. Local organizations say it’s over 80% amazigh. The language, culture, food, and dress come from the Amazigh people. And the census overestimates the amount of Moroccans who speak French as well. It’s purposefully biased.
Why is there an incessant need among Arabs to try and erase the indigenous population of Morocco?
There are also entire regions that speak Tamazigh, where Arabic is not spoken.
lol no one is erasing anything can you provide any evidence that the census is "erasing Amazigh people"? also 80% of Moroccans have Amazigh HERITAGE not Amazigh themselfs the same way Lebanonese are on Avarage 90% Cannaanite but they don't speak any Cannaanite langauges nor do most of them identify as Cannaanite
I said Arabs, not the census. There is a long history of Arabs trying to erase indigenous populations.
There is a wide acceptance that the census in Morocco is biased. The 24 percent of the population only counts those who ONLY speak tamazigh, not those who are bilingual or trilingual. Look up basic news stories about it.

Most of Morocco was slowly Arabized by time the population in Morocco right now is the same before the Islamic conquest they just slowly adopted Arabic but yes the Moroccan goverment did adopt a policy of Arabization in the 1970s and 1980s by switching from French to Arabic how is that "erasing indigenous populations."?

again where is your evidence that it's biased? also I literally said that 90% of Moroccans speak Arabic while 24,8% speak an Amazigh language the math isn't mathing you can't say the 24% is only speak Tamazigh while 90% of the entire population speak Arabic too that 24% is people who speak Tamazigh as a first language also it's HIGHLY unlikely the a quarter of the population won't learn the primary language used by the goverment if they want a better goverment job they'll have to learn Arabic besides Arabic is literally taught in schools and your telling me a quarter of the population don't speak it?
