The discussion is about the origin of the Maltese language and not the dialect . In Tunisia , Arabic is spoken with some Tunisian words and other north African darija words from Algeria and Libya and Morocco Some Maltese words are derived from Italian, french , Spanish , Turkish and Berber words .

Thank you for this video! I'm Polish but I learn classic arabic, I understand some words.I know this is different language, but some words are similar.
in fact Maltese is an arabic dialect, close to tunisian arabic dialect with many italian words.I am tunisian and I can understand most of what they are saying! but arabic dialects are quite different from classic arabic, so don't worry if you can't understand much of the conversation :)
Maltese is a direct descendant of the Phoenician language. Here's an example from the Tabnit Sarcophagus: Phoenician: al yikunlak zare behayim tahet sems Maltese: La jkollok zaghar bej il-hajjin taht ix-xemx Still very similar despite the 2500 year age difference.
i am originally from Algeria and my god the Maltese is like north African language and i found a very old Algerian song talking about freebooter going to malta
@@documentarionline1349 Not all are Tunisian dialicts words.. Some of them are standard Arabic and we can people(who live in middle east)stand your language
They sound like they were half tunesien half italien, I understood most of it and this is no wonder if you look into the history of the tow countries they lived together on both sides for a long time. AMAZING
My Mum came to Renfrewshire in '66. I always heard her speak an highly articulate Scottish accent, growing up. But for the past few years she reverted via Skype and numerous airplane revisits to her accent.
Woow the UK accent is strong in this one 😂😂😂 I dont speak maltese what so ever, but right of the bat, I could tell the woman filming was from the UK. She seems to speak the language well though, so props to her :)
People keep saying "Italian" but in actuality the original language of the natives before learning the Arabic that would eventually become its' own language (Maltese) was Sicilian, as most natives trace their genetic roots to Sicily and Calabria. Italian has had some minor influence much more recently but Sicilian was a much greater factor in the development of the language and has been influencing Maltese for much longer.
The original Maltese was based on Phoenician not Latin. Modern Maltese is a Smetic language under Sicilian Arabic then Maghrebi Arabic then under Fus'Ha Arabic.
@@morceen I was referring to the modern native population, almost all of whom emigrated from Sicily and Calabria within the last several hundred years. I don't claim to have any knowledge of the language of Malta prior to Siculo-Arabic, but I'm not surprised to hear it was based on Phonecian.
@@AirBuddDwyer I don't know about the ethnic background of Maltese people, but the modern language is a daughter language of Arabic through the Sicilian dialect of Arabic, with a big influence from Italian. Linguistics estimate the Maltese vocabulary as 50% Arabic, 40% Italian and 10% English & French, while the grammar is based on Arabic grammar completely.
@@morceen What I'm clarifying is that that 40% "Italian" figure is actually a significant percentage Sicilian, which is a completely independent Romance Language from Italian (and also much older). Many people incorrectly consider Sicilian to be a dialect of Italian (which would be literally impossible as someone younger than you cannot be your parent), or they casually group in all the Italic Romance Languages under the umbrella term "Italian," which is also incorrect, as well as disrespectful. If you don't believe me try saying to someone who knows Standard Italian and isn't from Sicily/Calabria/Puglia "aieri jivi ô travagghiu," and take note of how they look at you like you have 3 heads.
@@AirBuddDwyer Oh my bad. Yes I'm aware of the difference between Sicilian and Italian languages, and also the difference in culture and phenotype even.
I am Algerian living in desert near South Tunisia.. I know the levantine dialekts and English and some French which is romance language close to Italian so I understand a lot....

سقساتها على الخدمة وعلى حياتها وحكاتلها على ولادها وقاتلها نخدم الصاك وولادها في سيدني استراليا واصلها من ايطاليا وهي زايد قاللها هذا حفيدي وساقسا الشيخ الصحافية من انت وعندها ثلاثه ولالدها عايشين في سدني وتزوجت
ااشارفة كلامها مفهوم شوية لخرى الحاجة الوحيدة اللي فهمت قالت ليها انا مالطية ساكنة في استراليا
أنت إنسان صريح كل من قال أنه يفهم فهو يدعي يمكن أن تفهم بعض الكلام و لكن ليس كله و لكن بالنسبة للعربي شهر فقط في مالطا سيتقن هذه اللغة لأن معضمها عربية و باقي إطالي و شويا إنجليزي هناك كلمات فرنسية كذلك
I am Algerian and I understood everything in this discussion I find very interesting
I am from libya and understand %60
So similiar to our maghrebian dialects
similar? its a maghrebian dialect with many italics loans.
I see, sister, you folow Dina's chanel. I do too, l love her.
@@alonsolekue no Tunisian dialect
Not even close. It's a different language.
Thank you for this video! I'm Polish but I learn classic arabic, I understand some words.I know this is different language, but some words are similar.
in fact Maltese is an arabic dialect, close to tunisian arabic dialect with many italian words.I am tunisian and I can understand most of what they are saying! but arabic dialects are quite different from classic arabic, so don't worry if you can't understand much of the conversation :)
Nearly every semitic word in Maltese can be traced back to Phoenician not Arabic. But yes learning Arabic does help a bit, as it's also semitic.
This is magical
Maltese is a direct descendant of the Phoenician language. Here's an example from the Tabnit Sarcophagus:
Phoenician: al yikunlak zare behayim tahet sems
Maltese: La jkollok zaghar bej il-hajjin taht ix-xemx
Still very similar despite the 2500 year age difference.
maltese is a really nice language
Similar to algerien language, amazing
@Reem 1998 😂

Best Semitic language in the world.
FannomacritaireSuomi after Arabic 😽
FannomacritaireSuomi That would be biblical Hebrew without Europoid Ashkenazi influence.
Seeking Truth Ashkenazi Hebrew is pretty middle eastern...
Jacob Lazarus no its not it dosent sound semitic at all.
you've never heard assyrian being spoken? sounds pretty similar to ashkenazi hebrew

I am from Malta but spent most of my life in England which made me forget all of my maltese accent and this makes me really really sad 💔
My Mum came to Renfrewshire in '66. I always heard her speak an highly articulate Scottish accent, growing up. But for the past few years she reverted via Skype and numerous airplane revisits to her accent.
My mama grandparents grate grandparents are all Maltese 💙💙💙

Woow the UK accent is strong in this one 😂😂😂 I dont speak maltese what so ever, but right of the bat, I could tell the woman filming was from the UK. She seems to speak the language well though, so props to her :)
Thats funny. I'm English and straight away I heard that she is from Australia, which she is.
People keep saying "Italian" but in actuality the original language of the natives before learning the Arabic that would eventually become its' own language (Maltese) was Sicilian, as most natives trace their genetic roots to Sicily and Calabria. Italian has had some minor influence much more recently but Sicilian was a much greater factor in the development of the language and has been influencing Maltese for much longer.
The original Maltese was based on Phoenician not Latin.
Modern Maltese is a Smetic language under Sicilian Arabic then Maghrebi Arabic then under Fus'Ha Arabic.
@@morceen I was referring to the modern native population, almost all of whom emigrated from Sicily and Calabria within the last several hundred years. I don't claim to have any knowledge of the language of Malta prior to Siculo-Arabic, but I'm not surprised to hear it was based on Phonecian.
@@AirBuddDwyer
I don't know about the ethnic background of Maltese people, but the modern language is a daughter language of Arabic through the Sicilian dialect of Arabic, with a big influence from Italian.
Linguistics estimate the Maltese vocabulary as 50% Arabic, 40% Italian and 10% English & French, while the grammar is based on Arabic grammar completely.
@@morceen What I'm clarifying is that that 40% "Italian" figure is actually a significant percentage Sicilian, which is a completely independent Romance Language from Italian (and also much older).
Many people incorrectly consider Sicilian to be a dialect of Italian (which would be literally impossible as someone younger than you cannot be your parent), or they casually group in all the Italic Romance Languages under the umbrella term "Italian," which is also incorrect, as well as disrespectful.
If you don't believe me try saying to someone who knows Standard Italian and isn't from Sicily/Calabria/Puglia "aieri jivi ô travagghiu," and take note of how they look at you like you have 3 heads.
@@AirBuddDwyer
Oh my bad.
Yes I'm aware of the difference between Sicilian and Italian languages, and also the difference in culture and phenotype even.
I just see that they are selling apples from Val Venosta. The language is not easy to guess by Italian
I love this language because i am Arabic 😮❤
