    This is my favorite period of Spanish History I'd give anything to hear a modern speaker of Mozarabic or Andalusi Arabic

    The name of Toledo comes from the Iberian language (previous to Latin) "Tol" or "Tur" hill, and "dor" tower, in the current Basque language (current language of the Basque Country). There are various place names throughout Spain and southern France with this root: Tolosa, Montes Toledones, Toulouse (France). There is an archaeological site from 500 BC in the southern part of Spain called El Turuñuelo. There are many words and place names in the current Basque language, which are found in all the languages of Spain, Portugal and southern France, such as "left". The current word for Iberia comes from the River "iber" (in Spanish Ebro), it can be translated with the current Basque language as "ib", river and "er" Caliente, plus "erría" town. Iberría, Iberia (the town of the hot river). A video with the influence of the Basque language on Spanish would be good. Thank you and greetings from the city of Toledo. El nombre de Toledo, viene de la lengua íbera (anterior al latín) "Tol " o "Tur" colina, y "dor" torre, en el actual euskera (lengua actual de Vascongadas). Existen diversos topónimos por toda España y sur de Francia con esta raíz: Tolosa, Montes Toledones, Toulouse (Francia). Hay un yacimiento arqueológico del 500 antes de cristo en la parte sur de España que se llama El Turuñuelo. Existen muchas palabras y topónimos de la actual lengua vasca, que se encuentran en todas las lenguas de España, Portugal y sur de Francia, como por ejemplo "izquierda". La palabra actual de Iberia, viene del Rio "iber" (en español Ebro), se pude traducir con la actual legua vasca como "ib", río y "er" caliente, más "erría" pueblo. Iberría, Iberia (el pueblo del río caliente). Sería bueno un video con la influencia de la lengua vasca en el español. Gracias y saludos desde la ciudad de Toledo.

    I wonder how Latin's SOV yet somewhat flexible word order became more rigid and SVO in Romance and then Spanish.

  • @skinkroot

    6 ай бұрын

    latin was able to provide, through its case system, context about the subject and object of the sentence via case endings, so the order was not important. the case system was eroded over time so there was now need for a rigid word order to indicate subject and object

    modern spanish is flexible, more than other romance or germanic languages. Old spanish was more flexible and latin almost free due declinations.

    It is originally from Greek entering Spanish and other languages vía Arabic. Arabic was often a conduit for Greek, Persian or other vocabulary.

    You also said the morphology í entered Spanish through Arabic but it didn’t. We don’t call Turks turquí and Turkish women turkia as is the case in Arabic nor do we call Moroccan women marroquia but una mujer marroquí.

    In Arabic, the way to refer to someone from a place, particularly in terms of national or ethnic identity, does not typically change based on gender. The same word is used for both men and women. For example, a man from Turkey would be "Turki" (تركي) in Arabic, and so would a woman from Turkey. There isn't a separate feminine form like "Turkia" for women. This approach is different from some languages, like Spanish or French, which often have gender-specific forms for nationalities and demonyms. So, the fact that there is only -í for both men and women in Spanish is exactly what you'd expect for a morpheme originating with Arabic.

    All of the phrases regarding God you used did not entered Spanish through Arabic but through the Bible as these phrases are very common in most apostolic writings (written between 40-70AD) and exist in other Romance languages. The catholic mass also ends with Que La Paz del señor este con ustedes that is a direct translation of the Muslim greeting ‏السلام عليكم ( Asalam aleikum) but is not something that entered the catholic rite through contact with Muslims since the rite existed before the birth of Muhammad and judaism that’s the source of all these phrases before Catholicism itself.

    I have read the Bible in both Spanish and English, and while I recall blessings, such as "grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ", I don't recall the writings of the Apostles containing any of the exact phrases I mentioned. And this fact is important, because the claim isn't merely that Spanish has these because they're similar to blessings found in a particular cultural tradition, but that they're calques. Could you give a reference from the Bible for phrases you'rereferring to?
