I had little knowledge about the Maltese language until recent times but I had an interest in going there as I know many people who had and said they liked Malta. By a strange quirk I had a Tunisian friend over one time who was showing me some Tunisian cooking. I Had this broadcast playing on my Computer Television while he was in my kitchen and he emerge with his mouth half open (or half shut) and just stared at the screen like a stoned fish in absolute amazement! He then started to point at the screen and said: "I can understand nearly everything those people are saying" "It is like they are speaking in my very own language" He went on to say "Even their accent is similar" I just said "wow" "this is Maltese Television" He even translated it for me. I could understand the Italian loan words in it but even he said Tunisian dialect has some French (which is a Romance language like Italian so that part of it wasn't a problem. He plans to go there soon. I find this language amazing and hope to hit the streets of Valletta and other parts of the island.soon!

@yaarky as always there s someone who refute the arabic identity of tunisia and nord africa pls do not waste your time talkin about this subject because tunisia is an arab country and will stay and the arabic people in tunisia is constituted mainly of 70% of hilali tributs and andalucia it was arab and not spain and those who v been expulsed from andalucia were half morsikos and arabs
@yaarky awesome :d an arabic country in europe i think that the maltese is probably the andalucian dialect that was spoken in andalucia during the islamic era in spain
