Abstract
ABSTRACTThe peripheral dialects of Arabic tend to differ from the core dialects by having an important component derived from anther languages or language group. In the case of Maltese this non‐Arabic component has been alost entirely of Romance origin until comparative recently, when English began to play a part. The Romance component is frequently more closely defined by stating that it is Italian, or Sicilian, or Siculo‐Italian. It is the purpose of this paper to examine this component and try and understand the role that it has played in the formation of moderbn Maltese.
