Dear Mrs. Schulte-Nafeh!

Joseph Aquilina's "The Structure of Maltese" is still recomendable.

Just by the way: Don't say "Maltese Arabic" when you're talking with
Maltese patriots!

The best reference work is Joseph Aquilina's Papers in Maltese Linguistics.
Malta: University of Malta, 1961 and by the same author The Structure of
Maltese: A Study in Mixed Grammar and Vocabulary. Malta: University of
Malta, 1959 both obtainable from the University of Malta.  No ISBN numbers.

I hope that was useful,

Dionisius Agius

	Unfortunately, our university library doesn't have a grammar of
Maltese Arabic, either.  Martha, however, may want to have a look at the
late Arthur J. Arberry's *A Maltese Anthology,* (Oxford, Clarendon Press,
1960). While the anthology focuses on Arabic-Maltese literature, it is not
without linguistic relevance.

Martha,
There is a small book (about 76 pp.) called "Maltese in Easy Stages:
Grammar for Beginners" by Albert M. Cassola.  The 7th edition was published
in 1985 by Progress Press Co., Ltd.; 341 St Paul Street; Valetta.  (No ISBN)

In addition to that, you might be interested in the textbook in the "Teach
Yourself" series: "Maltese: A Complete Course for Beginners" by Joseph
Aquilina, published by "Teach Yourself" in 1994.  ISBN: 0-340-62747-6

Regards,
---paul
