#for anyone who doesn't know moriscos were the muslims that lived in spain after the reconquista

[jackredfieldwasmyjacob]

just so you know, my arabic teacher said today that the lebanese are the cordubans of the arab world and the iraqis the catalan

#he was talking about accents not politics btw #i always love learning about all the dialects of arabic i find them fascinating #also he said the moriscos that STILL LIVE IN NORTHERN MOROCCO have their own distinct dialect derived from 'hispanic arabic' (?) #idk what the technical name is #but that's so cool!!! #for anyone who doesn't know moriscos were the muslims that lived in spain after the reconquista #they were descendants of the moors of al-andalus #and they were expelled out of the peninsula in 1609 it was a big deal we study in history class
