Aroubi people
The Aroubi people (Arabic: عروبي, arūbbi) is an Arabian population originating from Sub-Atlantic plains and Moroccan Oriental. It covers the following areas: Sraghna, Chaouia, Doukkala, Chrarda, Haouz, Tadla or in Moroccan Oriental (especially in Figuig)
Etymology
The origin of عروبي aroubi is Arab; it means in darija, although it is sometimes misinterpreted by Moroccans who believe it used to describe peasants. It merged with bdwi, which is the correct term.
Languages
They speak Moroccan Arabic (Hilalian dialects) since they are heirs. It differs from other dialects with the pronunciations of [qāf] and [kāf] as [ga], [ḏāl] as [z], [ǧīm] as [dj] and [t] as [ṯāʾ], and approaches Sa'idi Arabic and is a purely Bedawi accent. They (Hilalian Tribe) spoke a variant of Hijazi Arabic before.[1][2]
Origin
They are native to the Arabian Peninsula and the conflicts caused between Iraq and Syria, and then migrated to Upper Egypt and settled in Ifriqiya in the 11th century.[3] The Almoravid dynasty had appealed to them to fight alongside them against Europeans, which earned them the right to settle in the Sub-Atlantic plains, substituting the Barghwata, a Berber population exterminated where one finds the memory in Mzab.[3] They descend from the Hilalian Tribe, themselves derived from Djaffar bin Hilal bin Amir bin Rabia ben Kalb bin Muawiya bin Bakr bin Qays Ailan bin Hawazin and therefore Adnani Arabian.
A genetic study revealed that the highest population having haplogroup J1 were concentrated in Sub-Atlantic plains and is at least 30% -40% of the Moroccan population.
