In 2011, Amazigh became a constitutional language in Morocco. Although this recognition constitutes a victory for the Amazigh movement, Amazigh rights activists are today concerned about the slow implementation of the promises made and the constant marginalization of the community. The Amazigh language is very scarcely used, whether in the public or in the private sector, and according to a young Amazigh man living in Rabat, "[t]he media is trying to limit the Amazigh language to all that is folkloric, as though the Amazigh culture is just restricted to songs and dances."
