Is Maltese part of the Arabic language or is it a descendant of the Arabic language?

Maltese is a descendant of Classical Arabic as are all the other dozen or so languages that are often lumped together as "dialects" of Arabic, but which are all mutually unintelligible.  Speakers of other Arabic languages would not be able to understand Maltese any better than they can understand each other.  Maltese, however, has undergone some additional phonological levelling due to the influence of Italian and English over the centuries.

If I should limit myself to only one language it would be probably Arabic, it is very challenging. And of course, to improve my Spanish.\nHave a nice time!

Well in all honesty there are many languages you might check out. You see Spanish is a Romance Language, which is derived from Latin. There are many languages similar to this such as Italian, French, and Portugese. If you are looking for a challenge, you might take on Russian. There language is totally different and derived from the cyrilic alphabet. Hope this helps.

That isn't quite so easy as it sounds.  There are several such family trees, as the various Chinese dialects form one, certain Native American languages another, and so on.  The one most people are familiar with is Indo-European, which includes English, the Germanic languages, the Slavic languages, Sanskrit (and thus most languages of India), Greek and the Romance languages (that is, Latin and its descendants).  Another such tree is Finno-Ugric, which includes Finnish and Hungarian (Magyar).

Watching soap operas helped me tremendously - Arabs often laugh because the Arabic that we normally learn as foreigners is MSA (Modern Standard Arabic) and it sounds funny when someone uses it in daily life.  The soap operas, even if they are in a different dialect than the one you speak, will help you use the language in a more natural way.

this is a last name common in syria & lebanon - HOWEVER it does not come from the Arabic language.   In Arabic the word for "CROSS" is SALIB - not Saliba.  \n\n\nSaliba comes directly from Aramaic language which was the language of Syria & lebanon before the Arab invasion.   SALIBA  means "cross" in Aramaic.   there is no Arabic word of SALIBA.\n\nsome families in Lebanon & syria had this last name when the Arabs invaded & conquered those countries.  they simply kept the name as it is .  Remember - it is not Arabic - but is Aramaic  !!!    This surname goes back to the time when the Lebanese people spoke Aramaic and not Arabic.   Important you should know that.
