This article is a comparative study of the gender approach of Sadiqi (2003) to Moroccan society and the sociolinguistic survey of De Ruiter (2006) carried out among 569 Moroccan students. Sadiqi labels the various languages used in Morocco, Standard and dialectal Arabic, French, and Amazigh (Berber) in terms of gender. Her observations are compared to the De Ruiter data on language proficiency, use, and attitudes of young Moroccan men and women with the aim to see to what extent the gender characterization of Sadiqi and the data of De Ruiter match. Full matches between both studies were not established, but the comparison shows that observational studies like the one by Sadiqi (2003), combined with empirical studies such as De Ruiter's (2006), yield a very rich basis for a fruitful evaluation and discussion of Morocco's languages in terms of gender
