| Abstract: | Although English is spoken in several Maltese families much of this English is a semi-literal translation from Maltese.

Teachers are often heard remarking that these children speak a language that is neither English nor Maltese. We may, therefore, assume the following possible groups of speakers in Malta. [excerpt] |
