Although the language is recognized as being the mother tongue of a majority of Moroccans http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=ary, there's as of today no standardization about how it should be written. Both Latin and Arabic scripts being widespread throughout morocco we've designed a writing standard that can be used either with Latin or Arabic characters, thus the @latin. I know it can seem awkward but the only way I've found to give the user the choice between the Arabic and the Latin script was to create two different locals. I haven't finished working on the Arabic local yet, as I'm primarily using the Latin script, but the text is exactly the same it's only a mater of character transposition.
