How Gibraltar Became British

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

Another fun fact is that some of the locals there speak an interesting vernacular called Llanito (pronounced roughly "Yaneeto"), which is essentially Andalucian Spanish with a lot of English loanwords and code-switching. There's also lots of other quirks to it, like old loanwords from Spanish speaking population in Liguria in Italy and Haketia (Morrocan Judeo-Spanish) loanwords from the notable Jewish community there.

@@rasmusn.e.m1064 I'm not sure either though, lol. The term "pidgin" implies the patois doesn't have any native speaker (while "creole" implies it does) and, in which case, I don't know whether Llanito does have any native speaker or not. So, you might be the one who's right.

I've lived in Gibraltar all my life, so I'm very surprised to see this one! It was very well written. I disagree about the note that the "border checks at the end 2020 aren't any stronger". They have certainly become stronger for tourists or non nationals. Day trips from one to another aren't legal anymore, requiring tourists to show evidence of a hotel in Spain if leaving Gibraltar. This rule is subject to how the guards are feeling that day, as they tend to wave anyone through. Natives with a red identity cards are exempt.

[@diegogalvan1810]

I was a tourist to Gibraltar very recently and when crossing they didn’t require anything but a passport, they were surprised to see that I was American, put a stamp on my passport and that was that

[@KhAnubis]

My experience going across was basically getting stamped by the Spanish authorities, then the Gibraltarian guard took a look at my passport and let me through

Gibraltar es un peligro para la seguridad y la economía española .

[@user-jq6wf1xk5g]

Spain is pressuring the local government of Gibraltar through its population. Shameful. But then again, among other things Gibraltar wasn't even allowed to have their own phone number prefix/independence because of a Spanish boycott up until 2008 which is just ridiculous. Gibraltar is part of the UK and should never become part of the Schengen Area and the border should allow Gibraltarians and cross-border workers to cross it easily with an ID card check.

However, Spain seems to be using this as a tool in Brexit negotiations but the UK won't be pushed around. Yet the UK has it's own tool.

Gibraltar is British by the Treaty of Utrecht. As British sovereignty is based on compliance with the provisions of that treaty, it should be complied with and respected in its entirety, which establishes that Gibraltar must be cut off from the rest of Spain by land. Apart from the land of the isthmus where the Airport is built, it was not ceded in the Treaty of Utrecht, but usurped in the 19th century, when, faced with an epidemic of cholera on the rock, Spain gave Great Britain permission to install a Hospital in said isthmus and They never left there anymore, building the airport in World War II.

Ironic that Gibraltar is listed as a colony in the UN but Ceuta and Melilla are not, they are not the same case.

If Spain had to the choice of getting Gibraltar but seceding Ceuta and Melilla to Morocco, do you think they would say yes?

[@markmh835]

No, they wouldn't. Spain is determined to hang on to Ceuta and Melilla, but just enjoys complaining about Gibraltar.

[@juanfrancisco9417]

¡NO!

[@mesaescritorio3290]

No, gibraltar doesn't have a real Spanish population anymore, but ceuta and melilla do

[@Volcano-Man]

Ceuta and Melilla? You forgot: Alhucemas, Islas de Chafarinas, Penon de Velez de la Gomera! All Spanish Territory. They are part of Andalucia for administration purposes, coming under Cadiz. The elect a representative to the Spanish Parliament, the Guardia Nacional are posted to the areas, as are the Aduana - Customs Officers. Do you really think Spain will give them up, if it managed to control Gibraltar? You have more chance of walking backwards to Betelguise in your birthday suit, turning round and returning back to Earth. It shouldn't take you very long as its about 600 light years away!

[@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad]

They probably only claim Gibraltar as giving up could make them look weak, despite it being hypocritical as they have their own (albeit larger) Gibralter’s right across the strait

[@leviton6552]

All good, however, you forgot to mention that the UK expanded the territory of Gibraltar (twice) in breach of the Treaty of Utrecht. Also the treaty is a lifetime lease to the British but the jurisdiction of the territory was never given to the British. Finally Gibraltar is included by the UN in the list of territories to decolonize, however an independent Gibraltar would go against the treaty so it can only be British or Spanish

[@natenae8635]

The UN list refuses to call Hong Kong a colony so I don’t trust it. It’s a Broken body.

Aaand… literally no one wants it to be Spanish. Except Spain of course

[@Ghost-tv1yg]

Fun fact: Gibraltar 🇬🇮 is named after the Arabic name "gabal tariq" ( جبل طارق ) which means "the mountain of Tariq" and Tariq or Tariq bin Ziyad is the name of the Muslim commander who have conquered the Peninsula

[@brianjones2899]

I have read elsewhere that it means bridge of Tar referring to the protected crossing of Tar from North Africa. Incidentally and fun fact Britain has had Gibraltar longer than the Spanish following their defeat of the Moors around 1500.

[@jameshepburn4631]

Actually it’s Jebel al Tarik, mountain of Tarik, the North African conquerer in the 8th century.
