  Yes, it did. I am a native speaker. And, yes, I know a lot of borrowings from Iberian Romances, and non-Romances too.

    What are some example of borrowings from specifically _Iberian_ Romances? Not having looked into it beyond reading a bit about Esperanto's history, I'd always believed what the likes of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_etymology#Source_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_etymology#Source_lan... said that French and Italian were sources. Of course there would be many Iberian cognates. Even estas which looks very Iberian has a different source https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/esti#Esperanto https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/esti#Esperanto

      I was talking about Spanish. It took words from French, Italian, and OFC Galician, Catalan, Basque, Aragonese... over the centuries.

        Ah, sorry. I assumed you were talking about Esperanto. Oops, I will re-read before replying from now on, etc.
