Mosarabes

Mosarabes, vel Mixtarabes, vel Muzarabici, vel Musarabiti (-orum, m. pl; 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 vivebant. 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, Musarabiti ad Asturias et Castellam migrabant, a Mauris fugientes, ubi regibus dixerunt novum regnum Visigothorum creare debebant.

Lingua

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

Musarabice:	Hispanice:	Latine:
Mio sîdî Ïbrâhîm yâ tú uemme dolge fente mib de nohte in non si non keris irey-me tib gari-me a ob legar-te	Mi señor Ibrahim, ¡oh tú, hombre dulce! vente a mí de noche. Si no, si no quieres, iréme a ti, dime a dónde encontrarte.	O domine mi Ibrahim, o tu, homo dulcis! Veni ad me nocte. Sin, si non vis, ibo ad te, dic mihi ubi te invenias.
