I can give a Spanish book to a native greek speaker that has never had exposure to latin languages before and he'll pronounce it virtually indistinguishable from a native Spaniard.

I think the influence of Greek on Latin, the Greeks having been trading with Spain and the indirect influence of Greek on Spanish through English might have something to do with it!

Antonio de Nebrija, his Spanish grammar is not only the first official Spanish grammar, it is the first published grammar study of any modern European language.

7:10 Issues: So called Mozarabic or "Latini" was the Romance language spoken all across those territories under Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula. It had nothing to do with Andalusi Arabic (an Arabic dialect). Some 1-2% of modern Spanish vocabulary are loanwords from Arabic -mostly nouns, very few adjectives and no verbs- introduced likely by means of Mozarabic.

Basque is explicitly NOT Indo-European! It's an isolated language with no known surviving members of its language family having made to this day - most likely the last remainder of the languages spoken in that region of Europe before the spread of Indo-European languages from Asia (including the ancestors of Greek, Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, Romance etc languages). This appears to be quite a serious mistake in a video on the Spanish language, as the presence of Basque near and/or inside its borders is relevant. And I can't really find anything on the "Vasco" language being a proposed early form of Basque - all references I see are just the Spanish name for Basque.

Just a correction; Mozarabic is not Arabic or Berber, its the name used to refer to Romance Languages Spoken in Andalucia and most of the south by the vast majority of the population. Most of the Berber speakers adopted the local's language while the Arab elites and the local elites took Arabic, at least as a language of culture. So Mozarabic, even if it sounds Arab in its name makes reference to Romance languages under Moorish rule.

Yes, Mozarabic wasn't an arabic language. It was a language derived from latin, because the common people remained being celt-roman under the arabic rulers.

Hola Olly, enjoyed this video as much as I do all your videos - thank you for everything you do to make language learning accessible and more importantly, fun! I am a lover of the Spanish language and a student thereof, which believe me, is not an easy thing to be, living as I do in southern India where native Spanish speakers are rather thin on the ground! I have always been fascinated by how languages grow organically and otherwise, borrowing and sometimes plundering words from other languages. Again, so many of the most widely spoken languages in the world today are linked together by the mythic Proto-Indo-European tongue… Which brings me to a couple of interesting things I wanted to share today: At 8:15, you’ve mentioned “la sandía”, the Spanish word for watermelon. Its immediate precursor might have been an Arabic word (sindiyya), but if you go back much further, it derives from the ancient Sanskrit word “sindhu” (which refers to the place where the Sindhu or the Indus River flows). Incidentally the word Sindhu has also given rise to the modern name of my own country - India. Another interesting etymological derivation is that of the Spanish word “la naranja” (orange - as in English, referring to both the fruit and the colour itself). Again, it has come to Spanish via Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit (where the word “naranga” means “orange tree”), and to English via Middle English, Old French and Anglo-Norman. The Sanskrit word “naranga” itself is thought by some to derive from an older Dravidian word, possibly from the Tamil (my mother tongue 😊) word “naaram”… Just goes to show how the whole of humanity is related, although we come from different cultures and geographies. Fascinating stuff! 😄

Very insightful history and view of my native language. Thanks for that, Olly!

There may be 4000 Arabic derived words but only about 1000 are used in Spanish. And usually there is another latinized word to say the same thing. For example: Ojala que = espero que Alfombrilla = tapete Zanja = foso Alberca = piscina Alcancia = hucha Etc.

In my country everyone says those words this way: ojala: Dios quiera/Primero Dios, alfombra: tapete, zanja: fosa (this one I even forgot that it existed), Alberca: piscina, alcancía: bote de ahorros. You see how we avoid to use arab words, also, not more than 500 are used now a days

One of the things that, in my opinion, makes the castellano so beautiful and sophisticated is the inevitable use of the subjunctive mode both in oral and written language. Grammar point that seems to be a little pain in the neck for many non natives. But mastering and using it like the natives (including the past form) really takes you to the next level and introduce you to those nuances that makes the Spanish language THE LANGUAGE.

Brilliant---I always learn so much from you Olly.

The real number of Arabic words (from that period) is around 300. Those 4000 words everybody repeats come from a compilation made by Rafael Lapesa (a famous Spanish scholar) in the late 60's, that list included toponyms, fantasy last names in novels (like California), old words not in use, etc.

Superb comprehensive and highly clear explanation. Thank you!!!🎉❤

Olly, I LOVE That T-Shirt!! Is there a story behind it?

Let us all hail, "Alfonso El Sabio"! Alfonso had the greatest astronomy book in antiquity, Ptolemy's "The Almagest", translated from the Arabic (a translation of the original Greek) to Latin. It was the "Alfonsine" tables taken from the book that earned Alfonso his name on a lunar crater. Almost all of our old star names come from that translation. Ptolemy's, "The shoulder of Orion" in Greek became, Batha Al Jauza (I probably spelled it wrong) or, "The arm pit of the great one" in Arabic. and Betelgeuse , now. Also, while looking at Ptolemy's super complicated explanation for planetary movement with everything revolving around the Earth in circles within circles (epicycles), Alfonso is said to have commented, "I don't want to sound blasphemous but, If I had been next to the Lord when created the Universe, I would asked him to make it simpler." Copernicus sided with Alfonso on that one.

Thanks for making the most accurate video that describes the Spanish language.

Estimado Olly: Es necesario empezar a dar a conocer hechos históricos de suma importancia sobre lo mucho que USA le debe a España, dado que precisamente es en ese país donde más se desconoce la importancia crucial que España tuvo en su nacimiento e independencia; quizás porque a la anglobalización nunca le interesó reconocer ni agradecer a España. Por ejemplo hay que hacer hincapié y mencionar constantemente la BATALLA DE CABO DE SAN VICENTE. Esta importante batalla naval con victoria española contribuyó al nacimiento de EEUU. El 9 de agosto de 1780, el Almirante español D.Luis de Cordova localizó y capturó un rico convoy inglés de más de 55 navios, que navegaban desde su metrópolis hacia las colonias inglesas norteamericanas, que por aquel entonces luchaban por su independencia. Los españoles se hicieron con el convoy, con su cargamento de municiones y con el oro conque Inglaterra iba a pagar a los soldados ingleses que allí luchaban, también con más de 4000 prisioneros, entre tripulantes y soldados de varios regimientos que iban a bordo, causando el colapso de la Bolsa de Londres. El Almirante Córdova y su segundo, Antonio de Escaño, fueron los artífices de aquella gran victoria naval contra Gran Bretaña, siendo determinantes para que poco después USA naciera como tal país independiente. Nunca los ingleses capturaron un convoy a España ni de tal número de buques ni de tanto valor económico y militar; de haberlo hecho, tal suceso lo conocerían hoy todos los estudiantes de inglés en el mundo, además de que habría numerosas películas filmadas sobre todo en Hollywood acerca de tal historia. Porque si de algo se ha encargado siempre la anglobalización es de opacar la grandeza y logros de España, no queriendo reconocer ni agradecer que el auge y poderío de la anglobalizacion británica y estadounidense se debió a España y a la Hispanidad.

También habría que mencionar a Bernardo de Gálvez, que era el gobernador de Luisiana durante la guerra de independencia de las 13 colonias . El les cortó el paso a los ingleses por el sur al retomar La Florida Oriental, y cerrarles el puerto de Nueva Orleans y cualquier acceso al rio Mississippi. Mientras, al desbaratar las fuerzas inglesas en el área, mejoró la posición de los independentistas en el sur y el Mississippi sirvió para el envío de suministros militares a sus tropas. Y cuando le preguntaron que quienes hicieron todo eso, el dijo ..." Yo solo"... con un par!
