Who are the Maltese people descended from?

Answer 1

Well, Malta has been invaded and has been claimed by quite a few empires that have impacted on the culture and decent of Maltese people.

So originally Malta was colonised by the phonencians (Ancient semetic civilization)

Had Greek influenceRuled by the Carthaginian

Then Malta was taken over by the Roman Empire ( Italy)

Then the Arabs occupied Malta (persian empire)

Normans Occupied Malta

Swabian Occupied Malta

Angevins Occupied Malta

Aragonese Occupied Malta

Then the French Occupied Malta

Then Malta becomes an ally of Britan.

So knowing all that its obvious that the men who came to malta from different nations would of had children with the women who were on malta.

And basically Maltese people are mainly decended from

Phonecians

Romans

Arabs

maybe small amounts of french and british
