The word on this ceramic tile is “JAIMA”, written in Spanish (Latin alphabet).
In Spanish, jaima means a large tent used traditionally by nomadic peoples in North Africa and the Sahara, especially the Berbers and Tuaregs. The word comes from Arabic (خيمة khayma = “tent”).
Language of the inscription is Spanish, but it’s a loanword of Arabic origin.
