Could anyone tell me whether a 24 hour clock or a 12 hour clock is standardly used by Arabic speakers in Morocco? I've found several newspapers that use a 24 hour clock, but I would like to be sure that 24 hour is used by the majority of Moroccan Arabic speakers.

Thanks in advance,

Merci d'avance,

24 h Jul 19, 2015

Hello,

I´m living in Morocco so I can tell you we use 24 h, however in spoken Moroccan Arabic we only say: 10 in the morning, 10 in the night,

6 in the morning, 6 in the evening.

Hope that helps.
