What do you know about MALTA? Where is it? Is Maltese the official language? Why is it so famous? Malta is a touristic country which attracts people from all over the world. People visit this place because they love the sun, the hot weather, the beaches and the nightlife. Let me tell you some interesting facts about this country:
- There are approximately 500.000 inhabitants in Malta. The capital city is Valetta.
- The country has two official languages: Maltese and English.
- Malta is a multicultural country. It was besieged by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans among others.
- The British ruled the island for a long time and Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1964 and became a republic in 1974. Malta is nowadays part of the European Union.
- The English language is used everywhere and Maltese people use it and learn it from a very early age. Although Maltese is also used, English is the official language due to tourism and commerce. In fact, many people (mostly teenargers) go there to study English (and to go party, of course).
- As the British ruled the country for a long time, there are things that remind us of their presence: the language, phoneboxes, mailboxes, food, timetables...etc
- Malta is famous for its beaches but the truth is that the beaches are not sandy beaches and sometimes tourists are disappointed with this. There are more beautiful beaches in other parts of the world.
- Maltese people seem nice and friendly. They speak English perfectly. They are usually dark, short and tanned.
- The government passed the divorce law in May 2012!!!!
Interesting! The most surprising fact is the one about the divorce law. Does it mean that divorce was not allowed in Malta? Wow, I can't believe it!
ResponderEliminaryeahh... divorce was not allowed in Malta! Isn't it shocking? Maltese people are very traditional and religious so they were trying to keep traditional values in a modern society.
