Al-Fatiha with Castillian translations in Aljamiado script above each line of Arabic Quranic text.[1]Aljamiado text by Mancebo de Arévalo. c. 16th century.[2]Poema de Yuçuf
Aljamiado (Spanish:[alxaˈmjaðo]; Portuguese:[alʒɐmiˈaðu]; Arabic: عَجَمِيَة trans. ʿajamiyah[ʕaʒaˈmij.ja]) or Aljamía texts are manuscripts that use the Arabic script for transcribing European languages, especially Romance languages such as Old Spanish or Aragonese. This alphabet is also called the Morisco alphabet.
According to Anwar G. Chejne, Aljamiado or Aljamía is "a corruption of the Arabic word ʿajamiyah (in this case it means foreign language) and, generally, the Arabic expression ʿajam and its derivative ʿajamiyah are applicable to peoples whose ancestry is not of Arabian origin".[3] During the Arab conquest of Persia, the term became a pejorative.[4]

^The passage is an invitation directed to the Spanish Moriscos or Crypto-Muslims so that they continue fulfilling the Islamic prescriptions in spite of the legal prohibitions and so that they disguise and they are protected showing public adhesion the Christian faith.
