Ibero-Romance languages

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Languages ​​in the Iberian Peninsula

The Ibero- Romance languages are the Romance languages spoken on the Iberian Peninsula and originated from Vulgar Latin . These are Spanish , Portuguese , Galician , Aragonese, and Asturleonese .

The Catalan is counted by some linguists also among the Ibero-Romance languages, others arrange it however, the Gallo-Roman languages to. It can be seen as a kind of bridging language between the two Romance language groups.

The Mozarabic dialects, which were spoken in the medieval Moorish al-Ándalus , represent the oldest Ibero-Romance language forms. The Mozarabic text corpus is passed down to us mainly in Aljamiado manuscripts, in the Chardjas , Andalusian girls' songs from the 11th and 12th centuries, the oldest evidence of Romance poetry at all.

A specialty is the Jewish Spanish (Ladino), which is spoken only by a few Sephardic Jews, especially in Turkey and Israel.
