Spanish is Latin and Arabic fused to make a new beautiful language



Random thought that came to me. Spanish is a "Romance" Language (Rome) Based on Latin. But it has a lot of Arabic foundations in it as well.

For example everything starts with La or El. That's a foundation of Arabic (La Al etc. Means "The" in Arabic)

Also the feminine and masculine forms of words in Spanish. That is there in Arabic as well.

Ex.
Malik = King.
Malika = Queen (The base meaning of Malik is Ruler)

This goes for most words.

Spain was conquered by Arabic speaking Muslims for about 900 years so it makes sense. Spanish isn't just a Latin language but it is a derivative of Arabic as well!

No, it evolved from the Vulgar Latin spoken in Spain

Just googled it about 8% of words from the Spanish language have an Arabic root. The second most after Latin

Those are both from Latin.

I guess that explains why it's "aceituna" but "aceite de olivo."
