Aljamiado texts are manuscripts which use the Arabic alphabet for transcribing Romance languages such as Mozarabic , Spanish or Ladino . Chejne , Aljamía or Aljamiado is "a corruption of the Arabic word `ajamiyah (in this case it means foreign language) [Arabic عجمية] and, generally, the Arabic expression `ajam and its derivative `ajamiyah are applicable to peoples whose ancestry is not of Arabian origin". In linguistic terms, the ' Aljamia is the Romance language (i.e., "foreigners' language") which was used by some people in some areas of Al-Andalus as an everyday communication vehicle, while Arabic was reserved as the language of high culture and religion. The systematic writing of Romance-language texts in Arabic scripts appears to have begun in the fifteenth century, and the overwhelming majority of such texts that can be dated belong to the sixteenth century. A key aljamiado text was the mufti of Segovia's compilation Suma de los principales mandamientos y devediamentos de nuestra santa ley y sunna , of 1462. In later times, Moriscos were banned from using Arabic as a religious language, and wrote in Spanish on Islamic subjects. Examples are the Coplas del alhichante de Puey Monzón , narrating a hajj , or the Poema de Yuçuf on the Biblical Joseph . 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 .
