You forget that that happened after the island was depopulated by muslim raiders and slavers and resetled by muzzues.

The Italians did not kill them off and replaced them in comparison.

Also Suleiman the great ignored the promise hus father made towards the knights to leave them be.

True. The Brits also did their best to erase any Italian identity we had. They removed Italian from being an official language and replaced it with English and Maltese. prior to the British time, Maltese was a peasant language.

>Once it was a country full of Arabs from Morocco speaking some Arabic dialect

"was"

>>73077540
Indeed, the language (in our case) is Semitic, but the people and culture, well some people are of Arabic descent, no one can deny it but there is nothing Arabic about our culture.

i mean even in the dialect
tunisian dialect is 60% arabic word and 40% french and amazigh but even the pronounctuation and the conjugaison of the arab words are amazigh and used in different meaning than arabic words
we have hardly any arabic culture even the people arabs are very small minority

>>73077740
It is because of our strategic place in the Mediterranean sea. And our size.

>>73077773
In that case our vocabulary is estimated to be of half Sicilian/Italian origin.
