Maltese is an important language and apart from being the national language of Malta, it has been designated as one of the official languages of the European Union. Our professional Maltese translation services providers have put together the following list which reveals important aspects of the Maltese language and will be especially useful for Maltese translation buyers and service providers.
- Maltese has its roots in an Arabic dialect called Siculo-Arabic that originated and developed in Malta, Southern Italy and Sicily. Consequently around half of the Maltese vocabulary has been derived from Sicilian and Italian. About 20% has been borrowed from English. German and French languages have also influenced the Maltese vocabulary.
- Maltese is the only Semitic language that is written using the Latin alphabet in standard form. The Maltese alphabet includes six long and five short vowels, and seven diphthongs.
- Though Maltese grammar has essentially been derived from Siculo-Arabic one can also find influences of English and Romance in the grammar. For example, nouns are pluralized in the Maltese.
- The various dialects of Maltese can be divided into urban and rural varieties. The various urban dialects are closer to Standard Maltese compared to the rural varieties.
- The rural dialects have retained a few of their archaic aspects which include the use of relatively more Semitic roots and broken plurals compared to Standard Maltese. The rural variety of Maltese is quite close to Arabic as spoken in Western Mediterranean.
