Malti – Facts about the Maltese language
Maltese is the official language of Malta. Today, it is estimated that there are approximately 371,900 Maltese speakers, the large majority of whom are based in Malta. However, there remains a contingent of Maltese expatriates and their families who still speak Maltese.
Maltese is classified as a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family and is derived from Arabic. It shares extensive similarities with Tunisian Arabic, as well as more general parallels with other North African Arabic dialects.
Maltese is the only Semitic language written using the Latin alphabet. In total, it comprises 30 letters including the six special ones: c, g, gh, h, ie, z
