Pidgin Darija as part of Moroccan identity

Most people in Morocco speak the Arabic/Berber/French/Spanish pidgin Darija as their native tongue, which does not have a written language and is viewed in contempt by many. The official language is Standard Arabic and to be able to read everyone must learn this second language, with the unfortunate result that only 50% of the population is literate, so 50% are excluded from reading the news, etc. However, the diverse Darija is starting to be seen as reflecting the true identity of Moroccans, and some want to raise it to official language status.
