Maltese...
Why not start to learn some useful Maltese words??
English is widely spoken because Maltese people are bi-lingual
- English as well as Maltese are national languages.
The Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans all contributed to
the development of Maltese language which is why it is a
language all of its own. However it was the invasion of the Arabs
that had the most profound effect, hence, it is a Semitic language
written in the Latin alphabet with a twist of Italian and French
and a few English words thrown in. Maltese is now listed as an
official EU language.
You will be able to get your first Maltese lesson by hearing a
