MERHBA 'Merhba' means 'Welcome' This picture was taken from the overlook at the Upper Barrakka Gardens. You will also see 'Merhba' written on the signs upon entering the different towns in Malta. Maltese or Malti is a very unique language. About 70% of this language is related to Arabic,but unlike Arabic,it is written in Latin characters. The other 30% of this language reflects the various nationalities that at different times ruled the island,such as Italian,French,English,Spanish etc. The Maltese language consists of 29 letters(5 vowels and 24 consonants) An interesting fact is that Malti did not become a written language until the early 20th century.
If you are an English speaker, you will absolutely have no difficulty at all communicating in Malta because English along with Malti are the countries two official languages. Everyone speaks English very fluently here. Italian is also widely spoken due to Malta's close proximity to Sicily and also that Malta recieves Italian television programming. Also, Italian was the official language of the Knights of St. John.

In some places in Valletta, the narrow streets are actually stairways ... very interesting and always highly photogenic.

Look out for some nice lanterns around ... they look as if they are at least half a century old ... they probably are even older
