This paper analyses the linguistic diversity among the Berberophones in northern Morocco in the period of the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco (1912–1956). To do this, I focus on the documentary materials kept in digital archives, which allow us to go deeper into the knowledge of how Spaniards may have shown interest in Berberophony. In particular, I centre my analysis on the recognition of linguistic diversity and on the process of recognising linguistic borders enacted in the colonial era. I add some reflections on the persistence of colonial discourses in the postcolonial era.
