Detailed
Description		    Maghrebi-Ma'aravi, name of Jewish personalities and congregations originating from North Africa. The Arab geographers designate North Africa and Spain as Maghreb, the West. The name Maghreb-Ma'arav ("West"), Maghrebi-Ma'aravi ("the Westerner"), occurs in geonic literature and later. It continues to be applied to North African congregations and their rites. The Maghrebis speak a different Arabic dialect, which in addition to special rites and patterns of life, distinguishes their tongue from other Eastern Judeo-Arabic dialects and their customs from other congregations.
