Maltese language

Maltese is a unique language that blends Latin, Arabic, and other influences, reflecting Malta’s rich history. It’s the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet and serves as the national language of Malta. Maltese has a distinctive sound and vocabulary rooted in Arabic, but it also incorporates words from Italian, English, and other languages due to historical interactions. It’s spoken primarily on the Maltese islands by around half a million people and functions as a symbol of national identity. The language’s structure and vocabulary highlight Malta’s diverse cultural heritage, making it both fascinating and important linguistically.
