Hello I'm from Syria so I speak Arabic and I also speak Spanish and I came across a lot of the words that you mentioned but I've came across a big set of words that are too close from words in my native dialect such as
Pantalones بنطلون (pants)
Camisa قميص (shirt)
Zapatos صبَّاط (shoes)
So how can we explain that?
Taking into consideration that it's a dialect spoken in a relatively far area (it's not close geographically like Morocco for example
And why not. Arab Muslims had ruled Andalusia ( present Spain & Portugal) more than 700 years
There is a word in Spanish that Spanish speaker use a lot, “Ojalá,” which translates into “Hopefully.” This word is a derivative of the Arabic word “Inshalla,” which means “If Allah wills it.”
I think it is the Oxalá in Portuguese
Ojala=oxala=Insya Allah
¡Oh Alá!
Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
there is a word in portuguese "oxalá" that literally means "if God wills it"
@@PedroNunes-ve1vt Com certeza! parte de Portugal também foi conquistada pelos moros porém muitas palavras espanholas e portuguesas que são derivadas do árabe têm semelhança entre as duas línguas.
In Arabic we use Fulan and fulana to refer to anonymous male or female
We use exactly the same in Portuguese
In Spanish "fulano", "fulana". It can also be used derogatively.

هههههههههه اكذب على نفسك العرب مايتزاوجون الا بين بعضهم وهذا دليل انهم افارقه موعرب
My mother's hometown in Mexico is named Guadalajara which comes from the Arabic 'Wadi al-Hajara' (valley of stones). Arab influence is definitely embedded in Spanish language.
Also 99% of all the towns of Spain and a lot of towns in Portugal are Arab as they were good in geography even Madrid comes from Arabic meaning water flow or something like that
@@morocco_020fc7 99%? 😂😂😂 I'm from the northern-central coast of Spain and we have no arabic names here.
@@AdamSlatopolsky why are you mad he is not insulting you? Also nearly all of Iberian peninsula was under muslim control for 800 years so that’s why there’s a lot of Arabic names like for schools, streets and even cities
There is a city with the same name in Spain, probably they replicated it in the New World.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalajara,_Spain
Tha was mentioned in this video lol
As a Portuguese speaker that also speaks Spanish and is learning Arabic, I've always found it funny how much some Arabic words resembled Spanish but I never stopped to think that it also resembled my language 😂
Hey i am also learning Spanish and plan to learn Arabic.
Iberians are brown Arabs/Berbers, not white.
I'm arabic went to Mexico and was amazed I mean we have alot of common even the houses language and to be honest I thought I was in arabia love to the Spanish Portuguese people from yemen
@@ademali8199 perhaps poverty makes it look like that, Spain doesn’t look much like Arabia aside from old Muslim places in Andalusia

Welcome from a Syrian.
My two favorite youtube channels in one place. Thanks to you I started learning Japanese and Arabic. Now I have the N3 of Japanese and the B1 of Arabic :)
Thank you for your clear pronunciation!
As in Lonely Maha from my Arabic textbook?
One heavily used word in Spanish is indeed Arabic: "Ojalá", meaning "God willing" and interchangeable with "I wish"
Oxalá in portuguese
Same as in portuguese! "Oxalá" that is translated as "Hopefully" as in "Hopefully this will work" for instance
Also hasta is from arabic
@@vlad.the.impaler. Dude I always thought that Oxalá was borrowed from the bantu languages via slaves. The more you know.

I'm from originally from Valencia and my grandmas use to say "ma" instead of "aigua" (Catalan word for water) to ask the kids. "Ma" is water in Arabic. My region's towns are predominantly Arab names: Almàssera, Benimuslem, Albalat, Alaquàs, Benimaclet, Benicàssim, Almenara, Albuixech, etc...

Very nice...I really want to travel to your country to learn about your civilization and traditions and customs
ma is also hebrew...how many "arab" words i wonder came from hebrew into spanish...
@@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands both are semitic language, so have many similar word. Jews and arab living together side by side for thousands years.
Hebrew didn't have that authority, so none
6:10 Arabic and its two types of consonants (Sun and Moon) are one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in a language. I mean, very poetic.
I remember that these "Sun" and "Moon" letters are used for two tajweed rules.
It's really out of necessity. Al Qamar. القمر Meaning The Moon. Has the L letter that is pronounced. A-Shams. الشمس. Meaning The Sun. Has an L in it that is silent.
It was convenient to call a silent L Sun and a pronounced L Moon.
They are "Sunny" and "Moony" in Arabic, which makes them sound cuter in English!
Please note that Arabic is a miraculous language unlike any other language. I mean standard Arabic not the colloquial dialects . A normal illiterate Arab can understand well the Quran and the Hadith well inspite of the fact that they are dated back 15 centuries ago, while for example highly educated people of you can't understand English 7 centuries ago.and so do all the other nations regarding their respective languages.
Standard Arabic is not only represented in the religious books but also in newspapers , many tv shows, all tv news, historical tv drama , documental channels and even children cartoons. and of course in the educational system.
many Arabs communicate in comments in standard Arabic as not every Arab is supposed to know the colloquial dialect of the other.
From the other hand Shakespearean English for example is not used in educational system, not used in cartoons , not used in tv shows and tv news , not used in newspapers. It's only used to study old literature and theater.
All the languages that were contemporary to Arabic are now dead. Aramaic, Assyrian, Coptic , Greek, latin.etc. We are lucky to have a library of 15 centuries books , that an Arab can read directly in their original texts, while other nations have a library of books that can't go past 5 centuries ago, otherwise they would need a translation to nowadays language to understand.
So Arabic is the oldest live language now on earth. Can you guess why? Why Arabic in particular?
Whereas ANY OTHER LANGUAGE, their people usually can't keep it for more than 5 centuries ,and it alters gradually and a new language is born and so on.
I hope you get my point of view
and I would welcome your criticizing opinions if any. Thanks alot
@@user-io1oj7rm9w Isn't Hebrew a language that fits your criteria? Only with consonants and "everlasting"? Funny enough it's the other "literate" culture with the "one God/creator of all" that I know of. Both praised written language and didn't like to 1) disrespect the deity and 2) praise an image of it (which I appreciate a lot).
as a spanish architect I can tell you the arabic words that still remain in my job:
Aljibe (water tank) الجب (al-Gubb)
Alfeizar (base of the window) (al-hayza)
Albañil (construction worker) البنّاء (al-bannāˀ)
Alicatado (tiled surface) (al-qataa)
Adoquin (cobble) ل (al-) دكان (al-dokken)
Alcázar (a type of castle) القصر (Al qasr)
Alcoba (bedroom) (al-qubbah) Dome
Adobe (mud bricks) طوب (Tuba)
Azotea (roof) سطح (Sath)
Azulejo (ceramic tile) الزليج (az-zulaiy)
Alfiz (window molding) (ḥayyiz)
Alcantarilla (main sewer) (al-quntarah)
Albañal (secondary sewer) (al-ballaá)
Albayalde (lead white paint) (al-bayūd)
Tabique (partition wall) تشبيك (tasbik)
Etc..
What about Alcatraz? The prison island that is famous, now museum? It pretty seems a Spanish name....
@@danvasii9884 alcatraz in Spanish refers to a some species of seagull, probably also comes from the Arabic bc the root "Al"
Jorge Podestá I think you got it, it sounds like Albatross, so I googled the Arabic for albatross and it showed “alkatris tayir”
@@danvasii9884 Taking into account that it once belonged to Spain, and Alcatraz is a kind of bird and there are some places in Spain called Alcatraz....
I'm Portuguese speaker (Brazilian portuguese) and we use alcova (not commonly used), azulejo, adobe e tabica.
One arabic influence word i used everyday is "Almohada" (pillow).
👍 المخده
Al makhaddah
algebra الجبر
😀👍
In portugal we say almofada
@@MartimCorreia10, we Brazilians call "travesseiro" all "almofada" for sleeping.
Arabic also made a generous contribution to Sawhili and the local languages in East Africa. A great deal of Swahili words are borrowed from Arabic like: Chai, Yaani, samaki..fish, Subuh..morning, Salama...peace, Karibu and the list is endless. Thanks for the video
I’m half Yemeni Half Kenyan and i noticed that most of the Swahili words originated from Arabic .
Chai means tea?
@@lxu1711 yes

@@solafashamira4475
Swahili is an Arabic word meaning coast in plural
Spanish is my mother tongue and the influence Arabic has in it has always fascinated me. The word I notice the most are the ones starting with AL, my favorite one being Almohada (pillow)
(I'm Spanish) The word "pillow" in Spanish "almohada" comes from Arabic as most Spanish words with an h in-between vowels
Hugo V. It is in arabic al mukhada المخدة
im portuguese its almofada
Yes in Arabic it's Almakhada or makhada .
What is Spanish origin word for Pillow.
Most Spanish words that start with "al" are Arabic origin.

Actually there are a few battles between Arabs and Tamazight lmao
But the replies on the comments are not respectful and intelligent, some jealous berber are furious they even start to lie and say those words are Amazigh not Arabic 😂😂.
One time i was in the US, i heard in TV news they were talking about a narco nicknamed "El Alacrán" (the scorpion), but spanish articles in english are not often understood, they just merge them with the word, so the news anchor kept saying "The El-Alacrán".
Alacrán (scorpion) is from arabic "Al-aqrab". Al being the article "The". So we now have a word with 3 articles: 'The' 'El' 'Al' Aqrab.
Don't know why but i find this really interesting and funny.
A bit like when English speakers say "did you watch the EL Clasico"?
Reminds me of the story of Torpenhow Hill
Sahara Desert
Aqrab scorpion sounds like crab. Similar animal
Naan Bread
As an Arab from Lebanon, I recognise lots of Arabic words when learning Spanish. And I visited Guadalajara in Mexico in 2019. It is cool that the name is from Arabic origin.
They took the name of a city in Spain , the same as New York , took the name of the english city of York.
Here in Mexico we use an Arabic word that is used in nowhere else of the Spanish-speaking world: alberca, in Arabic is البركة , which means " the pond" and we use it to refer to a swimming pool. Most other Spanish-speakers use piscina, which is derived from Latin.
In rural Mexico you'll be able to hear many words from Arabic origin because this country was colonized by the Spanish merely 30 years after the fall of Granada. They will often refer to blue eyes as "zarcos", which comes from the Arabic word for blue الأزرق.
Wow it's interesting
En España sì que existe y se usa la palabra "alberca", pero con un significado ligeramente distinto. Aquí se utiliza para denotar una piscina de agua al abierto de uso exclusivamente agrícola. Zarcos sin embargo no lo he escuchado nunca
As José Antonio mentions, "alberca" is indeed used in Spain, it refers to water ponds for agricultural uses, which are ubiquitous throughout the South and East parts of Andalucía, Murcia and País Valenciano (the most and longest Arab-controlled territories of all the peninsula). Even today, many people builds pools and calls them albercas so they don't have to pay the corresponding immobiliary tax to Hacienda (IRS...)... typical Spanish... :-) And yes, "ojos zarcos" is still used in Spain as well, although is not a common expression anymore... It's, nevertheless, common and typical that peripheral areas are more conservative that more central areas: most american Spanish is, in many ways, more conservative and even somewhat archaic in usage when compared to Spain: that's something that happens with all languages and it's wonderful, so many beautiful words that fall in oblivion here keep living and well out there! With most of the speakers outside Spain, it's reassuring, the vocabulary of the language will keep rich and varied for a long time... :-)
amazing !
In Peru "alberca" is also used, it just denotes a pond rather than a pool. In Catalan the word for "alberca" is "safareig", "piscina" is just "piscina".
Maybe in parts of Mexico alberca is used instead of piscina because people used to go for a swim in ponds? Some countries have the tradition of pond swimming, even if that is lost now, it might give way to your word for it.
In Portugal, the word "Oxalá" is used, which in Arabic is "Insha Allah", meaning God willing in english.
We use oxalá in Brazil also. I always thought It was an african word 😂
Ojalá in spanish
The Moors used to say Oh Allah when they prayed to God for something, which became Ojalá and Oxalá in Spanish and Portuguese.
@@redademe oxalá* in portuguese.
@@Sorellalunamistica in fact it comes from arabic and is largely used in Portugal and Spanish speakers countries.
Once I was in Jerusalem with my father and we were in a restaurant we were trying to chose a meal and I said we could have some olives (azeitona) in portuguese the waiter was shocked he thought I said it in arabic, apparently it is a very similar word.
in informal Arabic they pronunce it like "azzaytun" also in Persian (an Indo-European language spoken in Iran) it is called "zeitōn"
Spanish as well. Aceituna.
Im Arabic, and im impressed of the amount of accurate information in this video and the fact that you know what words we stopped using, great job 👍🏻💯

@@Fenditokesdialect Not at all.
It is because Paul is a linguist and not a regular "hobby polyglotte" like many others. Besides he speaks very distant languages, so he knows very well a variety of phenomes and can explain them in a way everyone can understand.
If you say that, you are surely a linguist yourself, aren't you?
As a native Spanish speaker, I'm fascinated by the influence of Arabic in Spanish, and by this time period. When I was 7-8 (Internet didn't exist lol) I had a Larousse dictionary and it had a section on Arab art, culture, language, etc. I was in love with the Arabic alphabet (abjad, actually) and modified it to write in Spanish, lol. So I wrote on many notebooks in something that looked like fake Arabic but was actually Spanish. :P Unfortunately, Arabic is as beautiful as it is difficult. I dare say Arabs have an easier time with Spanish than we Hispanophones do with Arabic. Allah knows I just can't pronounce ʿayn correctly no matter what! Maybe one day I'll put in more effort. I still love Arabic, though, and Arab countries' food and music. :D
Hola senor I'm kabyle north coast of Algeria, I went to Spain a couple of times to ibiza mallorca, marbella. I fell in love with the beauty of Spain in general, I hold it my heart Spain is the closest European country by history and landscape. I guess we should all cherish and treasure the history that made Spain for what it is. A real treasure.

Hi! In the Algarve, Portugal, people also say "albericoque" for apricot. I am Portuguese and yes, the use of Arabic words is still very deep inside us and I think we have more in common with the Maghreb than we have with Scandinavia.

The closest language to Arabic is the Maltese to almost 80%, Even more than relative Hebrew
@@kdevhdsdv ok
Maltese kinda started as a dialect that got separated from Arabic and it developed into its own language because Malta isn't a Muslim country so there is not this attachment to Quran and classical Arabic.
@@johannesziaether3916 I know this already .
Religion has nothing to do with this stuff.
@@dwheeUSA
It's believed that the only reason Arabic was preserved is because of Islam and all the efforts to keep the language of Quran intact. Otherwise why didn't the other arab dialects convert into their own languages?
@@dwheeUSA It's really ignorant to say that religion had no contribution to the preserving of the Arabic language, I'd advise that you should read more on this matter.

Hi I am from Tunisia. I would like to add two information.
6:52 the word for carrot in Classical Arabic is الجزر "Aljazar". But the word إسفنارية "Isfannariyya" is from the Andalusian dialect. And since the Arabic dialects in North Africa are heavily influenced by Al-Andalus, in my native Tunisian dialect we use إسفنارية "Isfannariyya" to refer to carrots.
7:05 The common word for meatball in Arabic nowadays is كفتة "Kafta", but in Tunisia there is a special type of meatball that we call بندقة "bundqa"
we still use kofta tho (also Tunisian)
yes, as I said kofta (or kafta in the Tunisian accent) is the most commonly used word, bnadeq is a specific type of kafta
What i like Most about Arabic is it's morphology. It is amazing how by Just three roots, you can predict and put them in specific templates with assigned meaning with those template to create words.
Also,The grammar is so logical. If you are a new Arabic speaker you have to think about every word you speak and how it relates to other word.
This video just blew my mind, I had no idea I was using sooo many Spanish words with an Arabic origin! Literally 50% of the products I have in my kitchen: azucar, naranjas, aceitunas, aceite, azafran, albaricoques, zanahorias...
and many others things ..like why latinos and spaniards they are like arabs and muslims ..they have names of 3 part ( like u lol.. daniel gonzalez lopez ...others christians people or european people they use 2...just first name and family name )....they get from muslims who lives inspain and mexico after 1492 ...and the name jesus is popular in latinos world bcz muslims use it a lot to hide and protect themselves from spanish acquisition after 1492 ...they use aissa = jesus in arabic.

In portuguese we have "até" (meaning: until) which comes from the arabic word "hatta".
In Spanish we use "hasta" (h is silent) with the same meaning. A more direct relationship with its arabic origin.
Até = hasta = (hatta : حتى )

That's unexpected. When/where did Arabic and Russian speakers historically come into contact?
There is a movie called the 13th warrior with Antonio Bnderas. It's a true story, of course, in the movie they change it a bit. An Ambassador called Ibn Fadlan travelled to the Volga through Persia and Caspian sea. From there he crossed south Russia till Ukrain. That was in the 921 A.D and he was the first who describes the Viking. I think from that date, there were a lot of commercial exchanges between Arabs and Bilad al Rus (Russia) and of course with business there is the exchange of languages. Arabic also took many words from other cultures.
Hello, I am a Portuguese speaker and beside the names of places, tools or products with Arabic origin the only Arabic word we use is Oxalá = insh allah = God's Wish. But we also use with the exact same meaning the pure Portuguese version: Deus queira.

Arabic influence is in our words and cultrue and sometimes our blood. Depending on your ancestry. Its really cool and I love this
Yeah, I love that some Portuguese and Spanish people sometimes have similar physical features mostly found in North Africa, jet black hair, curls, olive skin, brown or black eyes. The music, too, flamenco uses the same chords and scales found in Arabic music theory. It's crazy! I love languages and culture!!!!

I think is worth mentioning that the city of Guadalajara in Mexico gets its name from the city of Guadalajara in Spain. Thanks for the video!
No sabia eso. Pero si se llama en esa manera debido a una ciudad en España, ¿seria Nueva Guadalajara?
@@heavypupper1219 Normalmente, los lugares nombrados con el mismo nombre en América derivados de lugares en España no solían llevar "Nuevo/a" si se trataba de ciudades, sino que se mantenía el nombre original de la ciudad a la que referencian (Guadalajara, Mérida, Valladolid, Durango, León o Córdoba en México; Córdoba en Argentina; Valencia, Barcelona, Mérida en Venezuela; Cuenca en Ecuador; o Cartagena en Colombia). Tal no es el caso con regiones o territorios más amplios, que eran normalmente denominados con "Nuevo/a" en caso de ser nombrados por lugares españoles (Nueva Vizcaya, Nuevo León, Nueva España, Nueva Granada). Si bien pueden existir excepciones.
He does mention it 12:06
Guadalajara is arabic name وادي الحجارة "wad-il-al-hijara" in english "valley of rocks"
I am actually from Andalucía and I have to say that a great percentage of our regional vocabulary is Arabic. For example, that word you used for hallway (zaguán) is mostly used in Andalucía, and it is still used. We also use: words like alcaucil (artichoke or alcachofa in standard Spanish, which is also Arabic), alcancía (piggybank), babuchas (we use it to refer to the flipflops used at home), ajonjolí (sesame), alfajor (a Christmas sweet in Andalucía), the most important monuments of my city (Seville) are la Giralda (an Arabic alminar) and el Alcazar (an Arabic palace), the most important river in Andalucía is called Guadalquivir, there are a lot of villages like Alcalá de Guadaira, some Andalusian dishes like Gazpacho, Chicharrón, and much more. It should be said that I also heard some of these words from Latin-American speakers, but it is normal since the ships that went to America departed from my region, more concretely from Huelva, and the sailors were from Seville and Cadiz, and the business with America took place in Seville, and later in Cadiz. All Andalusian provinces. That also explains Latin-American accent, which is very similar to ours. So, we use a lot of Arabic loanwords. There are also some scholars that affirm that our accent came also from Arabic, but that's a bit controversial.
I also have to tell you that the name Guadalajara (which is Arabic as you rightly said) comes originally from Spain, it is a province of Castile-La Mancha.
'Flipflops used in home' is in some dialects of Polish: _papucie_ and comes from Turkish.
thanks for sharing, this is very accurate.
Gracias
we use all those words in Cuba.
My grandma comes from Andalusia (shout-out to (obviously arab named) Alcaudete, Jaen!) but I´m Canadian, and had to pick up Spanish from school (only my dad spoken Madrid Castillian) and the c and z confuses me endlessly... Natrually, in school I was being taught some approximately south american standard dialect, and so the two letters sounded like "s" in English, I would get home and get corrected... Madrid Castillian they are hard "th" sounds... I remember hearing my grandmother talk and she had a thick andalusian accent, the last syllable was always missing on basically every word, and it was "th" "th" "th" everywhere, ... like her favourite (obviously arab named) vegetable: azelgas (chard?) came out (top my ears ) as athelga ... so If my grandma has a thick andalusian accent, she has the "th" sound, then how did South American get this other sound? Does the accent vary east-west in Andalusia or something?
I'm Portuguese. I don't know if all these words are arabic, but I use and/or hear them all (some you mentioned in the video):
azeite, azeitona, laranja, açafrão, açúcar, alface, almofada, alambique, romã, beringela. And also a lot of place names: Algarve, Alcobaça, Aljubarrota, Aljustrel, Aljezur, Alqueva...the list goes one xD
In swahili the word for sugar is sukari, same origin word from the Arabic as-sukar. Thats cool!!! Languages are awesome!!!

Papagaio = The green parrot that repeats what you say (babaga from arabic)
Enxaqueca = it means migraine/headache (ax-xaqîqa from arabic)
Sofá = it means sofa,it's almost the same word (suffa from arabic)
Fulano = a kind of slang for ''Someone'' (fulân from arabic)
Other than xaveco, for which I can't see an obvious equivalent, the rest are also used in Spanish: papagayo, jaqueca, sofá y fulano.
Hm in Cuba people also say fulano to mean someone.

First of all, even though most words of Arabic origin are indeed nouns, there is one word in particular that we use all the time: the preposition "hasta" (until). It derives from the Arabic word "hattá". Spanish is pretty unique in the use of this preposition. Most Romance languages kept the original Latin preposition. I believe that Portuguese "até" (until) may have the same Arabic origin as well. Catalan, spoken in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, uses "fins (a)".
In terms of vocabulary, "ojalá" (God willing) is probably the most common one. I also use "azotea" (terrace on the roof) and"alfajor" (from Ar. "fasur", which comes from Persian "afsor", meaning "juice", although we use it for a dessert, not for liquids). Other common lexical items of Arabic origin are "alcalde" (city mayor), "alambre" (wire), "aljibe" (well, from where water was retrieved), "albahaca" (basil), "alguacil" (civil servant, functionary, from "awazír"), "almohada" (pillow), "almohadón" (cushion), and "alfombra" (carpet). "Zaguán" reminded me of my childhood in Uruguay. We (still) use it there! Most of these words are related to our household or denote important positions in government.
When in doubt, assume all Spanish words starting with "al" are from Arabic origin... it is a safe bet. :-)

It is very interesting, I also noticed it. Πορτοκάλι maybe a more recent borrowing (?)
In Turkish, oranges are also called Portakal.
And I think it's got to do with the Ottoman Empire, they traded with oranges with Venice and when asked, the Venetians just said they were from "Portucal". So it stuck, and that's why most languages spoken in the former Ottoman Empire such as Turkish, Arabic, Greek, Bulgarian and Albanian use something similar to that "Portucal" the Ottoman merchants got from Venetian merchants.

I've assumed Arabic inflenced Spanish because Iberian peninsula was under the control of Moors for so long and it's great to see an analysis on it.
Hi Paul, your videos are a fantastic great source of informations. 👍

Almíbar, almácigo.
treasures hunter Alcohol should just be shortened to Alcol, to reflect its pronunciation
I notice 'Valladolid' is similar to 'Balad El Walid' meaning 'Country of Walid'. And 'Alcazar' in Toledo is similar to 'Al Kasr' meaning 'palace'.
And Gibraltar is Jebel Tariq.
Theyre probably influenced by arabic.
Yes it is
Interesting, it's like we use this words in Turkish still today! "Kasr" is used in Ottoman Empire as "kasır" which means a small palace-like building. "Balad" is used in the words like "Belediye" (means municipality) and "Belde" (mean a small settlement area).
"Neymar" is an Arabic name "Nimr" = Tiger. Tamarind is "TimrAlHind" =Dates of India and 1000 or more in English. From Iberian peninsula to N Africa, Arabian peninsula, Indian peninsula to Malay peninsula the island areas of Indonesia, Philippines and onward to China thru ocean routes; And over land thru Iraq/Syria [Shaam], Persia, Afghan, central Asia to again China they were having trade relations. So they are one of the main reason on the middle ages to spread the maths, science and philosophies in the 3 main largest continents of Asia, Europe & Africa.
These things are so interesting! Asia, Europe and Africa are all connected by land and small water channels, to each other. So the languages and cultures of these 3 continents had lots of influence on each other. The examples in the video involved Spanish, Portugese, Italian, English, Arabic, Sanskrit, Persian and Turkish. This shows a range from Western and Southern Europe, to Northern Africa, to Western Asia/Middle East to South Asia. And it involves 3 language families (Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic and Turkic). Incredible!
Being half Arabic and half Spanish (Cuban) - we're referred to as Morros "Moors" in Cuba - I love hearing the influence of my first language (Arabic) on my 4th (Spanish). My personal favorite is Ole! which came from Allah. It's fun (for me at least) to pick out the loan words and how they changed and evolved through time and circumstance.
@Melvis Valour It's "moro" (moor) actually. The word "morro" has a completely different meaning.
@@homesanto aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa0s
The Moors are actually the Moroccans, the Moors are not Arabic by race but by language so the moors converted to Islam then established their nation and spread in nowdays spain and brought Arabic to the land. If you took a DNA test you'll find your self half Moroccan half Spanish, the majority of spanish people have Moroccan DNA or berber or Moorish call it what you like.
@@arashizou2934 I'm afraid you're wrong about DNA data. Spaniards are mostly R1b, the same as the other nations in Western Europe. Please, take a look at this map: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Y-Chromosome_Haplogroup_Distributions_in_Iberian%2C_North_African%2C_and_Sephardic_Jewish_Populations.jpg
¡¡ Interesante !!
I'm mexican and some words I'm familiar they come from arabic and which are pretty common to use are: almohada (pillow), alcancía (money box), azúcar (sugar), albañil (house builder), almuerzo (lunch), the expression "ojalá" (I wish!), azotea (rooftop), jarabe (syrup), alcohol. Thanks to the arabics for their amazing contributions!
