Where did the moors come from and why did they leave?
The Moors were originally Berber and Arab peoples from North Africa who invaded and settled in the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century. They established a powerful Islamic presence that lasted for several centuries. The decline of Moorish rule in Iberia began with the Reconquista, a series of Christian campaigns to reclaim the peninsula. Over time, the Christian kingdoms gradually pushed the Moors southward until their final defeat in the late 15th century.
What languages were spoken by the Moors?
The Moors primarily spoke Arabic, as it was the language of religion, literature, and administration in the Islamic world. Additionally, they may have also spoken Berber languages, which were native to North Africa. Some Moors living in Spain likely adopted Spanish as well.

How was Charles Martel able to defeat the Islamic Moors who had invaded France?
Charles Martel made several key decisions which allowed him to effectively resist and defeat the Umayyad Cavalry that numbered twice his forces.1) Choosing Forested Hills: Martel chose the field of battle, allowing him to make serious preparations. He also wisely chose a forested hill, since marching uphill and through a forest severely cuts down on the lethality of a cavalry charge and allowed Martel to hide his numbers.2) Veteran Infantry: Martel was able to use veteran infantry who were able to march in phalanx formation and maintain this formation under cavalry attack. One of the things that greatly increases the deaths after a cavalry charge is when inexperienced pikemen or other infantry flee from an approaching cavalryman. However, because the veteran soldiers held their formation, they were able to kill many more of the Umayyad Cavalry.3) Rumors of Booty Theft: Martel was able to spread a rumor in the Umayyad camp that Frankish raiders had stolen some of the booty that the Umayyads had taken after earlier battles in France (like Bordeaux). Many of the soldiers were more worried about their booty than actually fighting the Franks, leading to a large percentage of cavalrymen deserting the field of battle to protect their treasure.4) Death of Enemy Commander: Martel's soldiers were able to kill Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi, the lead commander of the Umayyads, in the heat of battle, leading to further disorientation and withdrawal of the Umayyads.

How far back where Moors in Switzerland's history?
Moors never played a part in Switzerland's history. "Moors" typically is the name of the Islamic population of Spain. They invaded Spain in the 8th century and conquered a great part of south-eastern Spain. After the defeat and death of their most succesful leader Al-Mansoor around 1000 A.D their role and power began to diminish. By around 1400 A.D the Moors had been reduced to a minority group more or less tolerated by the Spanish rulers. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain finally forced them in the late 15th century to either convert to Catholicism or be deported from Spain.
