Maltralian : The Maltese Ethnolect of Australia is the latest contribution by Roderick Bovingdon of Sydney, Australia which was presented to the Rector Professor Alfred J. Vella in appreciation of Malta's linguistic contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of the Maltese language 'in toto' from a numerically leading section of the world's Maltese diaspora.
This fresh work is a revised and supplemented edition of the 2001 publication The Maltese Language of Australia : Maltraljan with two additional chapters where a more detailed linguistic delving is given along with two comparative samples of Italoaustralian and Egyptian Maltese.
The major drift of this fresh work reveals the innovative and creative nature of language as such, as well as the adaptability of settler groups, in this case the Maltese emigres, in foreign lands away from their indigenous environment.
