The diversity in Spanish vocabulary & its historical language contact. For example, during Arab rule in the Iberian Peninsula, Spanish borrowed words like “calabaza” from Arabic, which had Persian origins. In South America, Spanish adopted words from indigenous languages like “sapallu” (Quechua) or ayohtli (Nahuatl) or auyamá (Taino).
