Maltese: English Channel
built 655 days ago
Maltese cargo ship Sichem Pandora has been impounded on suspicion of colliding with the trawler Kleine Familie that sank in the English Channel, as the search resumed for five missing crew members. French maritime police were still hunting for the sailors but there was little hope of finding them alive in the chilly waters, more than 24 hours after the boat went down. The chemical carrier is being held in the northern French port of Dunkirk, and safety investigators and paramilitary gendarmes were on board the vessel early yesterday, according to marine authorities. See "Trawler sinking - ship impounded," BBC News, 1/6/06.

In modern day, speakers in Malta will often change from Maltese to Italian and English when talking to other Maltese people. Italian and English words are taken in by the language more and more. This sometimes words to form that are not found in Maltese, Italian, or English, but instead is a mix of the three. At schools, English is always used, and in many jobs, English, rather than Maltese is used. Maltese is usually only used in the less standardized jobs, and when people talk to each other. Most of the television, radio, and literature the Maltese people have is in Italian.
