to be difficult to classify: other texts traditionally assumed to be in Old Spanish, like the Kharjas, are proved to be in a different medieval Romance, Mozarabic, which happens to be classified along with Aragonese in a Pyrenean-Mozarabic group. Some scholars have proposed that it is anachronistic to classify such varieties of Ibero-Romance according to dialectal labels based on geographical particularism before the thirteenth century, leaving the Glosas to be understood as "in an unspecialized informal register of Ibero-Romance". However the Romance language of the glosses should best be classified, San Millán de la Cogolla's former reputation as the "birthplace of the Spanish language" was important in its designation as a World Heritage Site ("cultural" type) in 1997. Subsequently the Cartularies of Valpuesta were recognised as the earliest Spanish text. They are written in a late form of Latin which has been described as being "assaulted by a living language" (una lengua latina asaltada por una lengua viva). Text and translation The longest gloss appears on page 72 of the manuscripts. The Spanish philologist Dámaso Alonso called this little prayer the "first cry of the Spanish language" (in Spanish: "el primer vagido de la lengua española"). {{quote|TranslationWith the help of our lord Lord Christ, LordSavior, Lordwho is in honor,Lord that hascommand withthe Father, with the Holy Spiritfor ever and ever.God Omnipotent, make usdo such a service thatbefore His facejoyful we are.

Basque glossesAemilianensis 60 has been publicized as the earliest known codex with inscriptions in Basque, though other codices are posited. Only two of the glosses in Aemilianensis 60'' (of a total of about one thousand) are actually in Basque. These short texts (only 6 words in total) can be seen on the 1974 plaque. However, it has been suggested that some of the Romance glosses reflect the influence of the Basque language, the implication being that their author was a fluent Basque-speaker.
