===="Cristiano"==== {{More citations needed|1=section|date=April 2022}} During the presence of [[Moors]] in [[Hispania]], Spanish was sometimes given the name ''cristiano'' ("Christian") to distinguish it from the [[Arabic language|Arabic]] and [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] languages - although the language spoken by Christians under Islamic rule was [[Mozarabic language|Mozarabic]] (of which [[Aragonese language|Aragonese]] is actually the closest living language). This term is still used occasionally today to refer to the language, in a jocular tone. The expression ''Háblame en cristiano'' "talk to me in Christian", said to people not speaking Spanish at the moment, is used in opposition of the other languages of Spain,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-46529955|title=De dónde viene la expresión "a mí háblame en cristiano" y qué tiene que ver con el español|last=Llorente|first=Analía|date=2018-12-25|access-date=2019-03-20|language=en-GB|archive-date=2019-02-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190209194214/https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-46529955|url-status=live}}</ref> ([[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Galician language|Galician]], [[Basque language|Basque]], as well as others such as [[Asturian language|Asturian]] or Aragonese), to the chagrin of the speakers of these languages. The phrase is not used in the Americas. "Háblame en cristiano" is also a phrase used to ask for clarification in a conversation, when the topic of the discussion is not clear or is vaguely hinted at by one of the speakers.
