英语词汇lingua franca的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

lingua franca. A lingua franca is any hybrid language, a combination of various tongues. Pidgin English and Bêche-de- Mer or beach-la-mar, are two such trade languages in the Pacif- ic, but the earliest one recorded is lingua franca itself, meaning “the Frankish tongue” in Italian. Lingua franca arose along the Mediterranean, a medley, or babble, of Italian, French, Spanish, Greek, Turkish, and Arabic common to many seamen in the ninth century or earlier. A Frank was any West European at the time, for the tribe ruled over most of Europe. The language en- abled Muslims to conduct business dealings with Europeans, and Mediterranean traders still find it very useful in the Levant.
