Basque Glosses

Aemilianensis 60 has been publicized as the earliest known codex with inscriptions in Basque, though other codices are posited. In 2006 Basque inscriptions from the Late Roman period were discovered at Iruña-Veleia: these appear to predate all codices. Veleia was an ancient Roman town in the southern Basque Country. Only two of the glosses (of a total of about one thousand) are actually in Basque, but it has been suggested that some of the other glosses reflect the influence of the Basque language, the implication being that their author was a fluent Basque-speaker.

Romance Glosses

There is still some debate as to whether the Iberian Romance language of the glosses should be classed as an early form of Castilian or of Aragonese, although some recent studies (1 H. This article is about a subdivision of the Romance language family J. Wolf, in Spanish) show that most features belong indeed to the latter. It is not the only text to be difficult to classify: other texts traditionally assumed to be in Old Spanish, like the Kharjas, are proved to be in a different medieval Romance, Mozarabic, which happens to be classified along with Aragonese in a Pyrenean-Mozarabic group. The kharja (in Arabic, meaning "final" also known as jarcha in Spanish, is the final refrain of a Muwashshah, a lyric Mozarabic was a continuum of closely related Romance dialects spoken in Muslim dominated areas of the Iberian Peninsula during the early stages of the
