Reply to comment by Piratebuttseckz in Irulegui Hand: Researchers claim to have found earliest document written in Basque 2,100 years ago by IslandChillin

Well, wouldn't it make more sense that modern Spanish has words from Arabic in it because of the Moorish Conquests and vice versa? Also, Spanish still has a heavy Latin influence and Arabs would have interacted with Latin speakers way back.

Or is that your point?

It was about 2/3rds of what i was trying to convey, but older words like father or table also are very similar even in the native original language

Yeah, I have had a weird crossover too from Korean and German. Oma in German meaning Grandmother and something exceedingly similar in Korean mean mother. Same with Grandfather. And even Abba in Hebrew having a similar sound to Appa in Korean with the same meaning.
