Maltese Americans

Maltese Americans are people who originally come from Malta, which is a small island country in Europe, but now live in the United States. Maltese people have been living in the United States since the 1800s. They brought with them their unique culture, language, and food. Maltese Americans have their own festivals and events, like the three-day-long Maltese Festival in Detroit, Michigan. They often form organizations to raise money for charities and keep the Maltese traditions alive. Many Maltese-American families still speak Maltese, which is a mix of English, Sicilian, Italian, and Arabic. They also enjoy a variety of traditional Maltese foods and recipes.
