[edit] Spanish?
Why is there no sub section for spanish? I think that arabic has had alot more influence on spanish then it has on english. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.182.40.119 (talk) 07:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC).
- Yes, arabic influenced spanish, portuguese, galician and several other latin languages and languages.
The article is very small. --201.19.130.32 00:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eurocentric?
Isn't this page a little Eurocentric? Why are a great many Romance languages (as well as English and Turkish) given their own sections while other languages are merely mentioned? Arabic's had a HUGE influence on spoken Persian. Shouldn't that be worthy of a section, hell, and ARTICLE in its own right? I'd do it, myself, but I'm afraid I might mess things up. Any takers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.62.186.233 (talk) 17:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
