In Ceuta and Mellila it had the status of an official language before it was superseded by modern Spanish in 1860 . Haketia is heavily influenced by Moroccan Arabic , French and Tarifit . There are also some Hebrew expressions in the Haketia, and it was originally written with Hebrew letters .
In Oran , Algeria , the language is known as Tetuani ("from Tétouan").
