KtbDarija
The KtbDarija[1][2][3][4][5][6](Literally "WriteDarija") is a project aiming at standardizing the writing of Darija (Moroccan Arabic), to improve literacy rate and make it easier to learn for foreigners. It is a double standard that supports both Latin and Abjad alphabets. A set of keyboard layouts for writing in these alphabets have also been developed.
The project was started by Moroccan AI researcher Tareq Daouda, when he was a PhD student in Canada, later joined by Nassim Regragui who studied linguistics, and others. In 2010, they started a side project to translate Linux Ubuntu to Moroccan Darija, which was never completed.[3][7][8] Members of the group were also heavily involved in the Moroccan Arabic Wikipedia incubator project in its early years.[9]
