A group of Moroccan Amazigh activists has launched a Facebook initiative to document and correct spelling errors in Tifinagh script on public institution signage, aiming to advocate for the proper integration of Tamazight in the public sphere.
Members crowdsource images from across the country and provide suggested corrections, offering what they describe as both a participatory and advocacy-driven tool.
The initiative, created by educational inspector and Amazigh rights advocate Abdellah Baddou, highlights recurring linguistic inaccuracies and visual imbalances between Arabic and Tamazight on official signs, in defiance of the 2011 Constitution and organic law requiring parity between the two official languages.
Baddoucriticized the lack of consultation with Tamazight language experts and the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, stating that even well-funded institutions neglect quality standards.
The group also compiles formal reports to submit to authorities, underscoring the need for institutional rigor in implementing language policies.
