Mozarab - Language
During the early stages of Romance languages development in Iberia, a set of romance dialects was spoken in Muslim areas of the Peninsula by the general population. This is known as the Mozarabic language, though there never was a common standard.
This variety of Romance is the first documented in writing in the Peninsula as choruses (kharjas) in Arabic and Hebrew lyrics called muwashshahs. As they were written in Arabic alphabet (aljamiado), the vowels had to be reconstructed. In some aspects, it is more archaic than the other Romances.
This Romance variety had a significant impact in the formation of Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan, which explains why these languages have so many words of Arabic origin (Mozarabic was, understandably, quite influenced by Andalusi Arabic and vice versa). The northward migration of Mozarabs explains the presence of Arabic toponyms in places where the Muslim presence didn't last long.
The cultural language of Mozarabs continued to be Latin, but as time passed, young Mozarabs studied and even excelled at Arabic.
