[@buenaventuralosgrandes9266]

[@Jose-sp1wq]

Barby could you show us what the passports look like every flag Friday?

[@kaylsid7362]

Yes, very cool idea

[@broccoli1956]

I think they will give you the passport if you visit all the history places in Malta.

[@bonecanoe86]

You need a room in your new house where the walls are just completely decked out in all the flags you've gotten.

[@kekero540]

bonecanoe86 That would be a big room

[@aguyfromflorida4842]

bonecanoe86 like that Giant Florida flag i gave him

[@jespervanderkaa6759]

[@deeriam4136]

4:30 Holy crow! That’s me! I visited both sides of you are reading this Paul!

[@filipborch-solem1354]

Malta is the ultimate hybrid nation.

[@sanderskovly7641]

They was a milimeter from not. In the 1920's and 30's Malta were real "pro Italian". They wished to join Italy. But then ww2 began, Mussolini bombed the island and before this the british colonial administration passed a law stopping learning the maltese children italian. After this Malta became much more anglo-oriented, but if I got this right (I really just read two articles about it. In today's society they may both be "fake news) is Malta moving closer to Italy and the EU. If this is due to it's membership/globalization, the conflict in Libya or a combination I do not now. But it would had been an interesting scenario, what if Malta joined Italy?

[@samsaliba1532]

Sander Skovly As a Maltese kid I’m going to have to say it.... thank goodness we didn’t.

[@JosueWithContext]

[@LukeMarcheski865]

[@Cool1097]

Great video! But you forgot to mention that the national flag of Malta is the only national flag in the world besides that of Belize's to feature humans on it.

[@devilukean]

Gosh, that initiative to send candies to post officers is so kind. Thank you Barbs, not only for teaching us geography but how to be human :')

[@nikanikuradze7437]

im from georgia love that so many people were there

[@jonathangrumley9217]

The flag of Malta was given by Count Roger of Sicily, who tore a part of his own flag which was a red and white chequered flag (hence the red and white Maltese flag being the torn section) which he then handed to the Maltese. As correctly stated, the Georges Cross came later as a honour to the Maltese people for their Bravery during the War.

[@xDerpiicity]

Love that shirt, Barbs! You see it everywhere here in Alabama

[@dontcallmelil8619]

Congrats on the new house!

[@keipii9]

I can't wait for the Mexico episode! I'm Mexican-American and I love my ancestral home! Just came back from a 2-week stay at my grandparents' home in Jalisco and I loved it :) Since we still have quite a long way to go 'til the US episode, I'm glad that Mexico is coming up soon to tide me over (just 3 more countries to cover!)

[@Spino2Earth]

[@al-dimashqi]

I'm an Arab and I can understand the Maltese language, because 70% of the words in Maltese are Arabic.

[@eoinenglish7659]

Interesting :)

[@Hey-py2hb]

ربيع Liar

[@Possiblyqiqi]

As a fellow Arab, I've noticed that there is a lot of Arabic in Maltese, but not 70%, more like 30-40%. You probably understand it better as you might be from the Maghreb region.

[@theyellowsubmarine98]

I definitely did not expect to see a package from Ciudad Juárez, and definitely DID NOT expect Barby to put on the shirt of the local football team!!! Thanks for the guy who sent the package, and thanks Barby for displaying my hometown in your channel!

[@lfteri]

I got recommended a Lingy Beige video about Malta! Hope more people are recommended this video, you know, people that are not already subscribed to him or have not watched the video already XD

[@mareky1234]

Correction Reqd The Eight pointed white cross is not Maltese at all. It is the flag of the Knights Hospitalar. Specifically that of the Knights when they carried out their Monastic duties looking after the sick (everyone, including the enemy). The Red and white flag with the plain white cross was the knights “Battle Flag” when under arms. The Knights of ST John have been using the eight pointed black flag (and its Red ensign at various times) ever since they first adopted it from their main benefactors, “The Merchants of Amalfi” a city state of Italy, back during the Crusades. The Knights of ST John ended up in Malta after first getting kicked out of Jerusalem and then Rhodes, before finally settling in Malta, Where (after a very long time) Napoleon “insisted”! that they leave, which they did. The most holy order of ST John has since returned (sort off) to Malta and is in itself, a small micro nation (of one building I believe). The “Allied” order of The Most Venerable order of ST John of Jerusalem (aka St JOHN Ambulance), is headquartered in Clerkenwell England, but has Priories in most (if not all) Commonwealth (and some non commonwealth) countries. And it has the same black eight point cross flag, but with added gold lions and unicorns (Queen Victoria made it a chivalric Order). In fact their is a collection of “Allied Orders” of ST John, that all recognise each other and can trace their origins back to The Most Holy Military Order of ST John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta. (And a few “False” Orders as well). . The original Merchants of Amalfi flag was a white “eight pointed” cross on a blue background. And whilst Malta maybe associated with the flag, it was never at anytime, theirs. But I must add that they should be (and rightfully DESERVE to be), very proud of their current flag, for the very reasons you have stated. But you did make another slight error. The ST George’s Cross is on EQUAL standing with the Victoria cross. Just that the Victoria Cross is purely for members of the military and the ST George Cross is for civilians.

[@jaymz6473]

7:22. Yes Matthew! My dad’s from Workington!

[@davidknight6382]

I'm excited because you are on Malta which means my country (Poland) will be soon, I just have to wait for the M, N, O, and some P countries before the Poland episode :D

[@lemonadepanda9084]

Giurgiu is a town in the south of Romania:). Love you Barbs!

[@thomasedwardmuscatbaldacch5202]

Hi Barby, I've been a geography now fan for quite sometime and naturally since I am maltese I was excited for the Maltese episodes ever since I started watching. I am impressed on the amount of research you did and you got most things right. Though in this video when you got something kinda wrong. The colours of the flag probably didn't come from Count Roger since that is a legend and not a fact. The colours actually represent other things. I forgot what they mean exactly but I definitely know that they didn't come from Roger. But I am still impressed with your research!

[@giuliamuscat8294]

I'm Maltese too

[@sora653]

You are both Muscat's

[@hiro_lim]

i think the white is the purity of the people, the red is the blood of the people who fought for freedom, and the george cross is malta's award for being so brave and other cool adjectives in WWII, given by King George

[@mdcaruan]

I think out of all the countries (Malta is the most you talked about)

[@guitarguy7847]

Hey barbs great video!

[@kikit7262]

Nice video

[@Kathkere]

You should come to Sweden. We have salmiakki ice cream as well ;). Also, I agree with you. It is sooo delicious!

[@harshbansal7982]

RIP old house. W will miss you but the new house looks good

[@arthur_claes]

Nice video. (Yaay Belgium is in iT) What is the next country?

[@zakkadmiri951]

After you finish the country analysis series, you should start a “travel the world” series, where you first handedly explore the culture, traditions and practices of countries around the world.

[@eluminium4900]

Oh boi even if im stuck in a car and will probably throw up i NEED to watch this.

[@StevenEveral]

If you want to know more about the Maltese Cross and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, just look up Knights Hospitaller on Wikipedia. That'll give you a good start.

[@thatleroy98]

5:30 I'm actually full Mexican, but because I was in the US, I wanted to send the letter because it was way more cheaper sending it from the US rather than from Mexico. But yeah, I'm so glad that you got the letter :D
