Murcian Spanish is a dialect of the Spanish language spoken mainly in the Spanish autonomous region of Murcia, Alicante and the province of Albacete.
Murcian's unique features have evolved as a result of the coexistence of Phoenician, Berber, Latin, Arabic, Catalan, Castilian, Mudejar, Morsico Mozarabic and Aragonese-speaking communities at various times in the region's history. The main influences on Murcian today are Aragonese and Catalan. Murcian Spanish also contains evident Arabic influences especially words related to agriculture.
Eight official subvariants of Murcian Spanish exist today, some of them defined solely by administrative borders of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, as variants of Murcian are also spoken in the regions of Almería, Granada and Jaen.
