    Most loan words from Arabic in Spanish also exist in other languages, and they sound beautiful.

    No; Marseille is clearly Arab toponim

    It make even more sense than the stylets of Messinian greek colonists

    If you find a town on the Europe cost with the word Marsa in it; it has early Arab origin as Marsa means port

    It is not Arabic...but it IS semitic.

    thank the Carthaginians, who spoke Punic, (probably a canaanite-berber creole, but heavily semitic)

    It is not of Arabic origin only because you want it to be. Like Sebastianus already explained, it is of Greek origin.

    "Ultimately from the Latin Massilia, Marsilia, Massalia, from Ancient Greek Μασσαλία (Massalía), probably from a pre-Latin language of Italy, perhaps Ancient Ligurian mas (“spring”)."

    I was invited to work in Angola by Angolans, it is the only way you can get a visa permit in case you weren't aware of it.

    I think you need to learn how to read or how to draw rational conclusions. They are only not certain about the pre-Latin languages of Italy but are certain of the Greek origin that resulted in the Latin version.

    terrone, typical italian expression of italian origen.

    negro, typical worlwide expression of spanish origen.

    There are a few spanish words that really have an arab origen, faking new ones only to troll iberians is as stupid as easily debunkable, but I guess the dislike of 'la terrona y el negro' for iberians is blinding their little hateful brains.

    Honestly I don't know if "olé" is of arabic origin although I don't see the similitaries between the sound "O" and "E" of Olé with the two sounds "A" of Alah, but who knows...

    "Ojalá" is cleary arabic influence, the spaniards copied from the muslim expression "insha'Allah". The main diference is that the spanish "ojalá" doesn't have religious connotations, only means "I hope so"...but "insha'Allah" means more or less "if Allah (God) want it"...maybe Wadaad can explain the meaning better.

    There are hundreds of arabic words in spanish, some of them copied, transformed and latinized. I think most of the pure arabic words in spanish are tools used in farming in the Middle Ages. Most of that words are useless at the present.
    The name of towns with arabic origin are mainly in the south.

    In spanish language there are hundreds of Amerindian origin words and even some from Philippines, but I don't consider spanish an amerindian language.
    It's impossible to find a language closed to the influence of others.
