The Spaniard reconquista warriors brought with them a pure Spanish that belonged in the Romance family, but was also influenced by Visgothic. The Spaniards made a conscious effort to eliminate the Mozarabic language that was heavily influenced by Arabic, since they deemed it foreign & impure. Hence why modern Spanish has very little Arabic influence.I was watching langfocus channel and I wondered why Somali is so heavily influenced by Arabic Spain was ruled over by Moors for 700 years yet they only have 1% Arabic loan words while Somali has over 20%

I wouldn't say 20% is much, there are other langauges spoken by muslim ethnicities that have way bigger percentage of arabic words in them.I was watching langfocus channel and I wondered why Somali is so heavily influenced by Arabic Spain was ruled over by Moors for 700 years yet they only have 1% Arabic loan words while Somali has over 20%

That's bullshit. This whole "come from a single Yemen traveller" is factually incorrect. We've existed long before Arabs. Don't spread these lies about our past, otherwise ur giving Bantus fuel for when they try to take over.Basically we are a sect of an old Yemeni tribe.

I know man have you heard though there is this theory that English is a creole between old Norse and old English that's why middle English is so much more simple than old English personally I think some simplification happened some sort of dumbing down of the languageNah, creole refers to languages with fucked up grammar and extreme simplifications.
