This is especially true for the Middle Ages, when Malta was part of the kingdom of Sicily first under Norman, then Swabian, Angevin and Aragonese rule. In this period the local Semitic dialect was gradually cut off from the rest of the Arabicspeaking world and at the same time strongly exposed to the influence of the Sicilian dialect, which functioned as an acrolect on the basis of its sociolinguistic prestige. The result of this process was the formation of the Maltese language, whose main phonological and morphological characteristics already appear in its earliest written record, Pietro Caxaro’s Cantilena, dating from the 15th century.
