@@chalkfarmcarsquadso1664 Thats really good to hear 🙂my mum really wishes she was taught Maltese, sadly when she grew up, being English was the best. She does know words and can understand the language, but isn't fluent.

well basically Maltese is made of those languages but there are words which are a mixture of both which can confuse you. well you can come to malta and take Maltese as a foreign language
I'm Brazilian, I'm learning Greek and Arabic, I could hear some Arabic words mixed with Italian accent, such a lovely language, I definitely want to learn Maltese!
They're not quite Arabic or Italian anymore. A lot of the words evolved over the years. Btw I love speaking Portugese, although the first year studying was rough.

People keep saying "Italian" but in actuality the original language of the natives before learning the Arabic that would eventually become its' own language (Maltese) was Sicilian, as most natives trace their genetic roots to Sicily and Calabria. Italian has had some minor influence much more recently but Sicilian was a much greater factor in the development of the language and has been influencing Maltese for much longer.
The original Maltese was based on Phoenician not Latin. Modern Maltese is a Smetic language under Sicilian Arabic then Maghrebi Arabic then under Fus'Ha Arabic.

@@AirBuddDwyer I don't know about the ethnic background of Maltese people, but the modern language is a daughter language of Arabic through the Sicilian dialect of Arabic, with a big influence from Italian.

@@morceen What I'm clarifying is that that 40% "Italian" figure is actually a significant percentage Sicilian, which is a completely independent Romance Language from Italian (and also much older).
