I am going to explain who were the mozarabics and what was their language. About a milenium there were in Iberian Peninsula, Spain doesn't exist until 1492 with the total expulsion of the arabs for Catholic Kings, several romances languages, in other words, languages which come from vulgar latin, such as Galician, Catalan, Castilian, etcetera and another one was the Mozarabic. The Mozarabics was Christians people keeping their romance language developed themselves in occupied zone by Arabs. They were usually persecuted and forced to pay taxes to practise their religion. Most of them were fleeing to north where they adopted romances languages existing over there. Therefore and finally, the language Mozarabic disappeared. I post a known poem.
¡Tanto amare, tanto amare
Habib, tanto amare!
Enfermaron olios nidios,
E dolen tanto male
Translating:
So much love, so much love
there is so much love that
my bright eyes got ill(due to so much crying)
and they hurt so bad.( Anonymous, XI Century )
