Marrakech, Morocco

Jus d'orange is what you might order from this vendor in French-speaking Morocco, but the Arabic word would sound similar: narange (نَارَنْج‎). The Arabic word comes from Persian, however, and the Persian from Sanskrit of the Indian sub-continent, which gets you closer to Asia, where the orange tree originated. However, some countries use the word portegal. [2010]
