 Żurrieq in Malta | |
Żurrieqi is one of the dialects of the Maltese language. It is spoken in Żurrieq, a town in the Southern Region of Malta.[2][3][4]
Differences
[edit]Żurrieqi differs from Standard Maltese in lexicon, grammar and pronunciation. For example, in Standard Maltese "he is not working" is translated as mhux qed jaħdem, but in the Żurrieq dialect one says ma qedx jaħdem instead.[4]
