Maltese is a Semitic language spoken on the island of Malta. It is one of Malta's two official languages, alongside English. Maltese is a unique language as it has influences from different language families, including Arabic, Italian and English.
Maltese script uses the Latin alphabet, but has some special features. It contains additional letters such as ċ, ġ, ħ, għ, ż, which do not occur in other Latin alphabet systems.
Although Maltese is the official language in Malta and is used in government documents, educational institutions, media and everyday communication, English is also widely spoken and is often used as a second language.
Nevertheless, the Maltese government attaches great importance to the promotion and protection of the Maltese language. Maltese is used as the language of instruction in schools and efforts are being made to improve the language skills of pupils.
