18th Ram Ranch Cowboy really am not. The two languages who’ve influenced Maltese the most are Italian and Arabic. If you browse around the comments here you’ll find a lot of Arabic speakers astounded they can understand a fair bit of what the Maltese are saying
@18th Ram Ranch Cowboy Please check ua-cam.com/video/C7VdeHdBn-g/v-deo.html. This guys definitely knows what he's talking about. Myself I do understand and speak a fair bit of Sicilian and Arabic, and I can easily understand 70% of the Maltese I get to hear every time I visit this great region. Probably flying there again in a couple of weeks just for fun to have a coffee and enjoy the beautiful culture.
Wonderful. I love introducing myself to new cultures. I have the means, yet I need the freedom to pursue my passion. I've recently added Malta to my adventures. Take care & continue to learn & enjoy your travels. Hmm.
Well Maltese is a mixture of Arabic, Italian, English and slightly French though the majority comes from Arabic and it is the only Semitic language in the EU
Yes because the Arabs invaded there in history, killed most if not all of the population (&took some as slaves) and later replaced them with Arabs, and Sicilian-Arabs (Sicily had also been invaded and was under Arab occupation). You can look up history of Malta if you want to know more Maltese history. There's a lot of different civilizations and countries involved with this little island throughout its history.

@Adam Muklewicz Let me guess: You were one of those people who went around saying the USA would never elect someone named Barack Hussein Obama, right? How'd that work out for you? LOL And as for dealing with Putin, he might not get a handshake, but at least he wouldn't be kissing Putin's a$$ like Trump!
Pete Buttigieg is an American born in Indiana. He is a very intelligent man .He owns higher education certificates. his father is a Maltese from Hamrun. He decided to run for the next election for a president of U S A.I wish him luck but in USA you need to have a lot of money for the election which Pete has not.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg, was elected Mayor in 2012, still the current Mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Is a Rhodes Scholar, a war veteran in Afganistan, speakes in 6 languages, including🇲🇹 Maltese (his late Father, Prof Joseph was from Hamrun. His Mother is also an American Prof. Mayor Pete has achieved all this, yet he is only 37 years old. He is definetely a future US President, but not in 2020, as President Trump is hot favourite to win, and he will. But Mayor Pete will be an 🇺🇸 American President one day, mark my word.
Actually most candidates don't run on their own money. It's too costly so they have to ask people to donate to their campaign. If they're a good candidate and people really believe in them like they do in Pete, then they get enough $ to run a real campaign.

His "record" is already available to the public and he's already been questioned on it. And his South Bend mayoral record is pretty good, not perfect but overall pretty good.
What the hell? What Science is that? Roughly 5% of people in most surveys are homosexual, often much less than that even. There aren't many homosexual people in Malta. The Maltese are also highly conservative, abortion is illegal in Malta, even when the woman's life is concerned, and this does not seem to be changing (fortunately, and we're proud of it). Many Maltese still want divorce to be illegal as it can easily be considered immoral. In fact, the referendum to legalise it was won by 4%. Many Maltese will say it is OK to be gay when asked about it, because stupid liberalism is expressed so much in the media. However, they will still feel uncomfortable about, deep down knowing that there is something off or wrong with it. Remember; the Maltese are Catholics. Many still don't attend obligatory mass, might have got a divorce, and even flown abroad to have an abortion, but they will still say they are Catholic. Egoism and the modern self-centred mentality leads them/us to consider something right, even though it isn't.
@@casualcommentator784 Sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about. So first, how do you know that there aren't many homosexuals in Malta? where did you get the numbers from? Second, abortions are allowed in Malta to save the mother's life. Third, back in 2011the majority of the Maltese voted YES for divorce, with 53% voting yes and 46% voting no, so the majority does not think divorce is immoral (and this was 8 years ago). Forth, Malta's LGBT rights are of the highest standards in the world! including the EU. Same-sex couples in Malta have the right to marry and adopt children. In April 2015, Malta became the first country in the world to outlaw sterilisation and invasive surgery on intersex people and In 2015 Malta became the first country in the European Union to prohibit the use of conversion therapy. You are not very much informed, SO PLEASE STOP TALKING FOR THE MALTESE PEOPLE!!
Casual Commentator Actually science tells us that country and religion doesn't matter. Around 10% of humans are homosexual. Of course in a conservative country like Malta most people hide it. But facts are still facts
I am a non native Arabic speaker and his name means father of chicken.
18th Ram Ranch Cowboy a lot of Maltese comes from Arabic actually. Father of chicken would be ab dajaj, no?

@@pfmcoop abu+dijaag---the first A is dropped, d becomes t.
As a Japanese, pronouncing "Beverly Smith" is much more challenging than Buttigieg!!
Some people will have more difficulty in pronouncing "Xarabank" than "Buttigieg".
He is American, so they're pronouncing his name just fine..There's no such thing as an American surname anyway, as they are all from Europe...
Beautiful people with a beautiful language. Love flying there every time I get a chance to ;).

What language is that. It sounds so arabic?
Michael Mesfn Maltese. The word Buttigieg comes from Arabic (Abu al Dajaj, pronounced Abuttijiej) and it means the father of chickens.
@@lilsomething8905 Interesting, I also noticed some arabic derived words in their speech.
Maltese comes from Sicilian Arabic, which was spoken in the Middle Ages when Sicily was governed by Arabs.
We call him peat booty-judge
Haha
He doesn’t come off as a gay man?
No. It's because there isn't really a "gay" look. I have friends whose faces look very masculine like Brad Pitt but they are gay.

Why does South Bend have a higher MURDER RATE than Chicago? How is he paying WELFARE to illegal immigrants?
