Maltese is based primarily on Arabic, specifically the Arabic dialect that was spoken in the Mediterranean region during the time of Arab rule in Malta from the 9th to the 11th centuries. Over the centuries, Maltese has also incorporated elements from Italian, particularly Sicilian, as well as English and other languages. This unique blend makes Maltese the only Semitic language written in the Latin script. It is the national language of Malta and is spoken by the majority of the population.
