Maltese language

Maltese is the national language of Malta, and an official language of the European Union. It is descended from Maghrebi Arabic . It is the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet in its standard form.Apart from its phonology, Maltese bears considerable similarity to urban varieties of Tunisian Arabic and other North African Arabic dialects. In the course of history, the language has adopted numerous loanwords, phonetic and phonological features, and even morphological and syntactic patterns from Sicilian and Italian, while many words (some with their plural forms) are also borrowed from English.
