Jebli (Jebelia) is a pre-Hilalian Arabic dialect spoken in the mountains of the north of Morocco.
The word jebli means "of/from the mountain". It is mainly spoken in the northwest of Morocco by tribes of arab Sherifian and Morisco descent as well as (primarily) Berbers who were Arabized over the past ten centuries.
Jebli is heavily influenced by Berber; the grammar of Jebli is almost Berber while most the words are Arabic. The vocabulary is highly influenced by Spanish.
