Mozarabic

Mozarabic refers to the cultural and linguistic influences experienced by Christians living under Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula, particularly during the early medieval period. The term is associated with a unique blend of Arabic and Romance languages, which developed due to the interaction between these communities from the 8th to the 15th centuries. Mozarabic culture also encompasses distinct architectural styles, musical traditions, and religious practices that emerged during this time. Today, the Mozarabic language and heritage are valuable for understanding the historical coexistence of Muslim and Christian communities in Spain and their mutual influences.
