Maltese language – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dieventaal, ik zeg het u. Romance language-speakers may easily be able to comprehend more complex ideas expressed in Maltese, such as "Ġeografikament, l-Ewropa hi parti tas-superkontinent ta' l-Ewrasja" (Geographically, Europe is part of the Supercontinent of Eurasia), while not understanding a single word of a simple sentence such as "Ir-raġel qiegħed fid-dar" (The man is in the house), which would be easily understood by any Arabic speaker.

Ze hebben mij een keer op ‘t werk gevraagd of ik een stukje Maltees kon vertalen. Ik vertaal namelijk uit het Italiaans.
Ik kon woorden van het type democratie, regering, revolutie en wat dies meer zij prima verstaan. Maar de rest van de zin was voor mij één Arabische pudding.
De Arabische vertaler verstond grofweg de andere helft, maar toch konden we het niet aan elkaar puzzelen. Gelukkig wist ik de klant te melden dat er bij hen een Maltese editor rondliep, die ze wel beter zou kunnen helpen…
