I am from Lebanon and the language spoken there is strikingly similar to Maltese. I guess they both are bsaed on the same Phoenician language spoken for some 4,000 - 5,000 years.
The Maltese language is thought of as having Arabic roots, but this is not accurate.
Maltese is a mix of Phoenician and old Sicilian.
Lebanese is a mix of Phoenician and Arabic.
