dc.description.abstractLanguage, being man's primary tool of self-expression through sounds that are recognizable as vehicles of ideas, is made possible by the sounds that are produced by the human vocal organs. To the person that doesn't understand the language, every foreign language is no more than a jumble of sounds. One's inherited language, being made ideologically recognizable by a conventional relation of sound to meaning, constitutes the major evidence of national identity of Maltese in this sense provides evidence of the linguistic identity of Malta, but does it also provide evidence of the national identity of Gozo? Yes, it does.en_GB
