São Paulo – The multiplicity of the Arab culture is one key point of the research developed by doctor of letters Felipe Benjamin (pictured above, right). Since 2010, the young professor has focused his studies on the Moroccan dialect of Arabic, specifically of South Morocco. “The Arabic are many languages in one. The written Arabic is the standard language. When a journalist talks, for example, he uses the standard Arabic. But in everyday life, the change in the Arabic is huge. Each country has a multitude of dialects. Inside the Moroccan Arabic, you have several dialects. In older cities you hear one, in rural areas another. This is related to different waves of Arabization in each country,” the scholar explains.
