Maltese is a Semitic language related to Arabic and Hebrew. Written from left to right in the Latin alphabet it is extremely difficult to read.
Just as a matter of interest. can you write 'Smoking damages your health' in Maltese? I remember seeing it when in Malta - it seemed to have a large amount of x's in it.

Yes, I have.
I've been to Malta twice and really did enjoy it - especially the bus rides. I read a little about the Maltese language before I went there but unfortunately I forgot the few words I knew.
BTW are there still so many TV antennas on the roofs or have they been switched for satelite dishes now?
Hope to come again to your great little island!!

Yes, kif int? kollox sew?
I know how to speak some Maltese words because I speak Arabic and Maltese is a little like Arabic because it descended from Maghrebi Arabic.

Yes, definitely. Maltese is on my list of languages to learn. It's a bit tough to find learning material, though.

i have to admit i dont know a lot about your language, however, i have been to Malta and it was a very beautiful place that I would like to visit again someday soon.
The people are very friendly too, you must be proud of your country.

well... sometimes it´s considered to be a dialect of Arabic, very similiar to Arabic (speaking+pronounciation) but written with Latin script...
