SEMITIC LANGUAGES

[@iantheultimatemegaglaceon7514]

Greetings from Malta! 🇲🇹

[@gidi-yo]

As a native Hebrew speaker, the first time I read a text in Phoenician (from the 5th century BC), it amazed me how similar it is to Biblical Hebrew. I could understand most of it. I'm no expert, but it looks like they were dialects of the same language. And also, I think that Maltese is really cool. I just love how it sounds with this weird combination of Arabic and Italian. Thanks for your amazing video! ❤

Maltese is cool because it has many words from Sicilian and Italian, the semitic + latin combo is interesting

[@rochedib395]

Maltese is clearly a North African language inspired by Maghreb dialects because of several Islamic dynasties domination and geographic proximity, Latin , or Italic influence is minor compared to the Arabic foundation , structure and vocabulary of Maltese, I have even noticed that Maltese use in some cases formal or scholastic classical words of Arabic language of which the use was abandoned in Arabic dialects. To sum up , I am Algerian and I do understand fully Maltese from the similarity with our dialect in north east Algeria.

[@esti-od1mz]

@@rochedib395 the maltese language was brought to Malta by the so called "Siculo arabics", not from Northern Africa, during the kingdom of Frederick the second, who expelled the remaining muslims from Sicily: even the genetic composition of the maltese show that they are closer to the sicilians. Also, 60% of maltese vocabulary comes from Sicilian. The base is of course semitic. Check it out

Just one minor correction: I’ve noticed in a couple videos that for your introduction in Hebrew, you say “איך אתה“ Eich Atah. While this is technically correct, this is rarely used as an actual greeting in Modern Hebrew. In Modern Hebrew, the three most common greetings for “how are you?” are: “מה שלומך” /maː ʃlomχaː/ - lit. “What is your peace?” “מה נשמע” /maː niʃmaː/ - lit. “What do we hear?” “מה קורה” /maː koʁeː/ - lit. “What is happening?” But great job with the pronunciations!
