A wīl-i žṛāhīm ! Introduction au parler queer marocain : Həḍṛāt əl-Lwāba

Résumé

This article introduces the Moroccan Queer[1] language called Həḍṛāt əl-Lwāba (HL), which means 'The Moroccan queer speech'. It is an alternative language or anti-language inserted into the Colloquial Moroccan Arabic matrix used by the Lwāba, a Moroccan queer community. The purpose of this language is to make community, along with a language in which its members can recognize themselves, and sometimes communicate without being understood by others. I will offer a contextualization of the sociological and sociolinguistic environment in which the language emerged. I will then document nearly one hundred terms of the HL lexicon, complete with examples and elements of oral literature. To conclude, I will point to theories regarding its origin and future.
