This paper aims to contextualize the state of the art of the sociolinguistic situation of the Amazigh language following the fairly recent changes in the Moroccan language policy. It critically delves into the trajectory of the continuing attempts undertaken by the state to reinforce the de jure and de facto patterns of presence of the Amazigh language at the level of corpus planning, status planning, and the recent policies adopted to potentially guarantee its revitalization. The amount of existing fieldwork literature in regard to the sociolinguistics of Amazigh has significantly increased insofar as grasping all the credible knowledge available remains a challenge for novice researchers. Therefore, an attempt is herein made to trace back the evolution of the place of Amazigh in Morocco since the Ajdir Dahir on October 17th, 2001 all the way to adoption of the recently passed organic law 26.16, an approach which is supposed to concisely and precisely bring to the fore the major fundamental phases the language has gone through.
