Malta joins the EU
As many of you know, I once lived on the island of Malta for a year. The place is near and dear to my heart. The latest news from Malta of course is that they’ve joined the European Union on May 1st along with nine other countries. Maltese is now another language officially recognized within the EU. So if you’re fluent in Maltese, the EU wants you to work as a translator! Well, being a country of only 400,000 people, Maltese is known to a select few. The language has its roots in ancient Arabic with a smattering of influences from the Romance languages. It’s written with the Roman alphabet with a few special characters thrown in for good measure. Here’s a good place to start on the Maltese language. Ciao!
