Andalusian

The Andalusian language (língua andaluz, لئنگو اندلوز) is an Ibero-Romance language spoken in Al-Andalus, having been strongly influenced by Arabic durringthe centuries of arabic-muslim control of the peninsula. The language, throughout the Andalusian explorations, was taken to the New World, where today it is the language spoken by most of the American continent, in addition to influencing several languages ​​around the world. It was also the first lingua franca in the world, being used as a prestigious language in both Europe and the Arab world.

History
In this scenario, the Iberian peninsula remained under Moorish control and Reconquista did not occur. After a long mastery of the Arabic language and the Andalusian Arabic, there was a revival of the Andalus language in the 15th century, a more Arabized version of the Mozarabic language, a Ibero-Romance language, which came to replace Arabic as the official and prestigious language. Today Andalusian is the official language of the Republic of Al-Andalus (Jomhur-e Al-Ândalus, جمهورِ الآندلوس) and of more than 30 countries in the Americas, Africa and Asia. In addition to being influenced by Arabic, Andalusian was also directly influenced by Persian during the Andalusian Renaissance, when the revival of Classical Persian was seen as an example to be followed. The Arabic-Andalusian alphabet is also directly based on the Persian script, as well as the Ezafe concept. French, Italian, Turkish, English and African and Amerindian languages ​​also came with great influences in Andalusian vocabulary.

Phonology
Andalusian phonology evolved directly from Mozarabic, with some Arab influence and other romance dialects spoken in northern Iberia, which would have given origin to Portuguese and Spanish. As Mozarabic inherited a more archaic phonology than other Romance languages, Andalus preserved many of these characteristics. Others, however, were influenced by Arabic and local dialects, and Andalusian phonology today, in comparison with the Romance languages ​​of reality, is very close to the Brazilian Portuguese phonology, which is more conservative than European Portuguese.

Consonants

 * From Latin to Mozarabic, /kt/ became /ht/ (Noctem > Nohte), but from Mozarabic to Andalusian, the transformation of the Latin /kt/ into /jt/, founded in Portuguese, ocurred, so /ht/ became /jt/ in Andalusian (Nohte > Noyte).
 * The Arabic phoneme /ɣ/, represented by gh / غ, became /ʁ/ in Andalusian (Arabic /ɣaɾb/ > Andalusian /ʁaɾb/, both spelled غرب, gharb in Arabic e gharbe in Andalusian). The transformation of /ɣ/ into /ʁ/, also influenced the transformation of the rhotic trill /r/ and /ɾ/ in the beginning of a word into /ʁ/. So, both the digraphs gh / غ, rr / رّ, and r /ر in word beginning are pronounced as /ʁ/.
 * The Arabic phoneme /χ/ was kept in Andalusian for the letter Kh / خ, but, in many dialects the /ʁ/ is merged into /χ/.
 * As influence of Arabic, /kʷ/ and /ɡʷ/ became /kw/ and /gw/.
 * The Arabic letter ق is stil transcripted in the Latin alphabet as a sole q, but the original Arabic phoneme /q/ was merged in /k/. Exemple is the word عشق (Arabic ishq /ʕiʃq/ > Andalusian 'eshq /eʃ.k/.
 * In Andalusian, the Arabic letter ع (in Latin alphabet  '), lost the Arabic phoneme /ʕ/, and became a glottal stop /ʔ/ in the middle of a word, or a not pronouced letter in the beginning of a word.
 * The Mozarabic /β/ finished is transition to /v/ (Vita /βi.ta/ > Vita /vi.ta/).
