The Maltese Language
- Maltese is natively known as Malti and belongs to the Afroasiatic, Semitic, Central Semitic, Arabic language family.
- There are approximately 520,000 native speakers worldwide.
- Maltese is the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet and the only Semitic language that is an official language of the European Union.
- The language descended from Siculo-Arabic (the Arabic dialect of medieval Sicily) and has been heavily influenced by Italian, Sicilian, French, and English over the centuries.
- Maltese vocabulary is approximately 52% Romance (Italian/Sicilian) and 32% Arabic in origin, with the remainder from English and other sources.
- The Maltese alphabet includes unique characters: \xc4\xa0/\xc4\xa1 (a silent letter affecting surrounding vowels), \xc4\xa6/\xc4\xa7 (a pharyngeal fricative), and \xc5\xbb/\xc5\xbc (similar to English "z").
- Despite Malta's tiny size (316 km\xc2\xb2), Maltese has survived alongside English, Italian, and other colonial languages for centuries.
- Maltese Australians number approximately 190,000 people of Maltese descent, making Australia home to one of the largest Maltese diaspora communities. Migration peaked in the postwar period (1948-1970s). Communities are concentrated in Melbourne (Sunshine, Albion, St Albans) and Sydney (Blacktown, Penrith, Liverpool). Maltese community clubs, Catholic parishes, and the Maltese language newspaper remain important, though English dominance is increasing among younger generations.
About Cambridge Park
Cambridge Park is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 53 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Penrith. It is part of the Greater Western Sydney region. Prior to European settlement, what is now Cambridge Park was home to the Mulgoa people who spoke the Darug language. They lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle governed by traditional laws, which had their origins in the Dreamtime. Their homes were bark huts called 'gunyahs'. They hunted kangaroos and emus for meat, and gathered yams, berries and other native plants. Shortly after the arrival of the First Fleet in Australia in 1788, an outbreak of smallpox decimated the local indigenous communities and made it easier for settlers to disposses them of their land. The first land grant in the area was made in 1831 to Phillip Parker King, son of the Governor Phillip Gidley King. He named it St Stephens although it later became part of the Werrington estate belonging to his sister Mary Lethbridge. It was run as a farm until the 1880s when the estate was subdivided into smaller farms, one of which became Cambridge Park. Development in the area began in the 1950s. Cambridge Park Post Office opened on 2 January 1953 and closed around 1995.
