How Did Arabic Influence the Spanish Language?<\/h1>\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe modern Spanish is a marvellous result of different languages that have been conquering during years the land of our current Spain. Latin is the most essential language that has influenced in the Spanish language<\/strong> the same way that other Romance languages since during a lot of years this language was the only spoken one in the Iberic Peninsula during the Roman Empire; but we can leave on a side the influence that Middle East has had in our culture therefore in our grammar, phonology<\/strong> and specially lexical<\/strong>, this has made a special language and different from the others romance languages.<\/p>\r\n
