Influenced by Arabic, most likely, but it is not the only reason. In any case, I assume that you are talking about the phoneme /x/, and not the letter J, which is shared by many languages in the world. Also, "Arabia" is not a language, but the name of an ancient country.


jueves, jornada, gente, general, junto, etc.'
