From Wikipedia
Aljamiado (Spanish: [alxaˈmjaðo]; Portuguese: [alʒɐmiˈaðu]) 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 ʿaǧamiyyah (in this case it means foreign language) and, generally, the Arabic expression ʿaǧam and its derivative ʿaǧamiyyah are applicable to peoples whose ancestry is not of Arabian origin". During the Arab conquest of Persia, the term became a pejorative.
