    Default MENA posters...how much can you understand Maltese?

    To me, I can understand it as much as Moroccan or "Darija" Arabic dialects

    Hahah, I randomly watched this video earlier today after reading GiCas post about Malta/Greece/Sicily. She mentioned that the language was very Semitic so I typed in Maltese language on yt.

    Not Moroccan, sounds like Tunisian with a HUGE Italian accent + Italian words there and there...
    I think without their "prononciation", I would understand them better... it's difficult
    Maybe a Tunisian would understand them more than I am, my dialect is different

    Probably if they speak slowly, I would understand them better
