Mosarabes

Exemplum architecturae Mosarabum

Mosarabes (-um, m. pl), vel Mixtarabes, vel Muzarabici, (ex verbo Arabico musta`rab مستعرب 'ille qui simul arabus est'), erant gentes Romanae et Visigothae Christianae quae post incursionem Arabicam in Hispaniam anni 711 sub imperio Maurorum vixerunt, simul molliti. In Andalusia, hi homines attinuerunt Liturgiam Hispanicam et libere inter Mochametanos vivebant ad saeculum XI. Quamquam Christiani erant, ei in more Maurorum vestiebant et vivebant.

Saepissime, Mosarabes ad Asturias et Castellam migrabant, Mauros fugientes, ubi regibus dixerunt novum regnum Visigothorum creare debebant.

Lingua

Mosarabes quoque linguam propriam habebant, quae una ex linguis Romanicis erat, sed multa verba Arabica tenuit.
