[Ubuntu-ma] Language

[Abdellatif El Qochairi]

Good evening,

If we say we are the Ubuntu Moroccan Team, then it's natural to use the
language that the majority of Moroccans use, which is of course Darija.
We should also encourage any initiatives to use other Moroccan languages
(Tachelhit-Tamazight-Tarifit-Hassania) in the Free Software context.

Using standard Arabic it's also great, especially for those who are not
used to write Darija, and for those involved in other pan-Arabic
projects.

No language is superior in itself than another one, all languages are
great when they are used in their proper context.

Yours,
Abdellatif El Qochairi
