Aljamiado scholars classified Koranic Arabic into graded languages of increasing difficulty
Evidence
The second [form of] language is documental. It is a source of great security, and hearts swell, and belief plunges deep, and all ends up being as agreeable as one can desire, just like land when the water from the clouds rains down on it. This documental form of language allows the natural being to ripen in the same way as natural fruits that a temperate autumn brings to maturity, so they are not green on any side. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 915
