This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Maltese — the most common language for daily conversation — resulted from the interaction and fusion of North African Arabic and a Sicilian form of Italian. It is the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet. Total estimations for Maltese vocabulary are: 52% Italian/Sicilian, 32% Siculo-Arabic, and 6% English, with parts of the remainder being French.[1] It became an official language of Malta in 1934. English is the other official language and is used for all instruction. Italian was the language of church and government until 1934, and consequently, is still spoken by a sizable portion of the islands’ population. |
