    Oh the heroism. Reminds me of our former deeds of crushing Admiral Zheng He's treasure fleet when they met us in battle. ^_^

    When exactly did Norman rule transpire over Sicily? I'm curious.

    You do not have a major in European Demographics, do you? LOL

    I am too lazy too check, and I do not care enough, but French had only half the population of Germany roughly, maybe a bit more.

    You are a newb, so FYI, I wasn't referring to the country, but my bud Malta.

    What's with you aliens, so touchy!

    Eastern Sicily spoke Greek until 1500. The rest of the island spoke Sicilian (a Romance language) or Arabic, but then once the Normans conquered, no more Arabic.

    I'm imagining all those Sicilian Mafiosos speaking Sicilian argot among themselves exclusively.

    This is (was) protosicilian, obviously a romance language.

    The text talk about the Riconquista and the expulsion of the berbers from the city of Scicli (Xicli in old sicilian)

    Vinni in la Marina


    Anno Domini nostri J. XP. MXCI, tempora quadragesime,

    Vinni in la marina di li Mikenki, ora dicta Donnalucata, lu barb. Ammiro Belicani Saraxino, cum manio exercitu, per dixtruire omni phidili Kriptiani, et la nostra ixula, et lu barburu cani nun chi riuxio, chi lu populu di Xicli si moxi tuctu, e si armau, et accursi per costringherlo et farilo fughire, a quillo barbaru infidili: ma, videndo lo numiro di li infidili, grassi assai, se prostraro cum la fachia per terra, et pricando nos Xeniuri J. XP. et la Vi. de la Pietati, che essi camaru per darichi fortia et corajo, per dischiacare li barb. Saraxini, et illico et statim, videro in lu Chelu una nugola, che isprindea ut solis, cum dintra la Vi. MP. cum brandus in dextera, et chi rintronava a lo sou populo "en adsum, ecce me, civitas mea dilecta, protegam te dextera mea", si livaru di terra di un subito, et videro lo exercitu di li normandi, ut volociter acquile, per aiutarli et uniti tucti si moxiro ut fulminem supra quilli infidili et li destruxiro et fu tali la confuxioni et lo spavento, che si ucchisero ipsi stixi, ut more canis idrofobi; durau la punia quasi per uno jorno, et di poi li sacti xaxerdoti cantaru Tedeum laudamus, et lo Magnificat, accumpaniati di lo exercito, et la nocti tucti li normandi et tucto lo populo si rixtaro in lo dictu locu, per prigari et ringratiaru a Dio e Maria Vergine che li salvau di lu ecchidio di li infidili; la matina si arritrovao lu campu cum immenso numero di morti, at li barchi di li infidili tucti fugati, et poi si ringratiau lu gran Diu e la MP. Vi. et si chiamau, di li pii ss. saxerdoti, sata MP. Militum, pro siclensibus, et si stabeleo farichi la festa omni anno, in lo jorno sabato prechedente a la Dominica di passioni, jorno solenni di la punia, et cussi' fu liberata la nostra terra, per sempre amen S.T.L.

    Saludong,

    I have to commend you on your Filojacking skills. We could be talking about Legos or Strawberry cake and you'd find some way to relate it to some ancient Filipino kingdom.

    Come on now about Zheng He, your ancestors didn't crush anything. He led a fleet so huge that no standing navy matched its size until the 20th century, a navy of 30,000 men and 500 ships which were each about 5x the size of Columbus's ships in length and many times the size in volume. In the Malacca strait, they were well known for regulating piracy, and they even captured a rebellious king of Sri Lanka alive before voyaging onwards to Africa. You honestly are telling me that your ancestors humiliated the great 6 feet 6 inch commanding Chinese Muslim admiral with a thundering voice and a mandate from the Emperor of Heaven, in control of a FLOATING CITY!!!!??? Come on! Whatever crushing victory you think you guys had probably only occurred in your imaginations!

    BTW, this thread is about Malta buddy! RESPECT THAT!!!!
