Many real Arab descendants in Morocco. Get that xaar out of my face I will go by what Moroccans identify with in front of my nose. Not some Amazigh Nationalism created by French dweebs.

Amazigh nationalism was not created by the French, thats false.
Amazigh Nationalism goes back several thousands of years to Numidian King Massinissa & likely before. He took action & desired to unite Africa(Berber lands).
Yeah but Arab geneticists I've come across on social media focus predominantly on Haplogroup since Arab identity is patrilineal. I think with Algeria it is safe to say is the most Arab of the Maghreb, due to the large presence of Banu Hilal, it's sup group Ouled Nail.
That's like Saying Philip the Arab, Emperor of Rome was father of Arab nationalism.
Morocco is definitely the least Arab of the Maghreb. It goes like this Algeria > Libya > Tunisia > Morocco.

Philip the Arab never espoused nationalism for the Arabs. He was loyal to Rome.
Massinissa was only loyal to his Berber people & estabilshed an independent Berber state.

SOUTH SUDAN THEY BUILT THE PYRAMIDS
That's nonsense how can you say they are the least Arab. What makes you say that. What do you base that on?
Yes but like arabs, north africans tend to mix culture with genetics and that's wrong you can't only focus on your paternal haplogroup because this only represents one member of your lineage what about the other thousands ? If you want to know who you are genetically then you have to take everything into account. Also there were more black slaves that were imported in North africa than arabs. Arabs were still a small group that got absorbed by the berber mass that's why today it's impossible to find a maghrebi with more than 40% arab ancestry except in eastern libya
Then it died and modern Berber nationalism started with the French especially in Nigeria and that waved over to Morocco. Berbers did not even have written language.
the current royal family of Morocco claims to be descendant of prophets family
Moroccans don't consider themselves arab tho
ive anot of moroccans they scream amazigh through their hearth
Do you live in a country with Moroccans? If No ha hadlin sxb. I live in a country with 500k Moroccans and more than half of them claim to be Arab.
actually they did : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tifinagh
here the inscription of thugga (IIth century BC) :
I see, I'm not too familiar with Libya but I'm aware of the three notable Arab tribes that migrated to the Maghreb and left a mark on the region: Banu Hilal/Sulaym/Maaqil.
yes I do live in country with moroccans and majority of them claim berber not arab
Yes because they are arabized. The same way egyptians and levantines think they are arabs. These people are not even aware of their own history and genetics.
the writing system looks like ge'ez writing
Tifinagh were just some scribbles written on rock by Touareg Berbers. It was not really used for writing.
