Al-Andalus (English spelling)

Japanese: アンダルス(英語表記)al‐Andalus
Al-Andalus (English spelling)
It was originally the name given to the Iberian Peninsula by Muslims, but gradually came to refer to their area of ​​control in the peninsula. The word originates from the Latin name Vandalicia, meaning "country of the Vandals," the Arabic pronunciation of which is Andalus. It is also called Al-Andalus. The Andalusian region in southern Spain is derived from this name. The extent of Andalus varied over time, but at its greatest during the time of Mansur al-Manṣūr (?-1002), the prime minister of the Umayyad dynasty, it included most of the peninsula except for the northern parts of Spain and Portugal.

Japanese:
初めイスラム教徒(ムスリム)によるイベリア半島の呼称であったが,しだいに同半島における彼らの支配領域を指す用語となった。語源は〈バンダル人の国〉のラテン語名Vandaliciaにあり,そのアラビア語なまりがアンダルスである。アル・アンダルスとも呼ばれる。スペイン南部のアンダルシア地方はこの呼称に由来する。アンダルスの範囲は時代によって相違し,その最大は後ウマイヤ朝の宰相マンスールal‐Manṣūr(?‐1002)の時代で,スペイン・ポルトガルの北部を除く半島の大部分を含んだ。
