Maltese
Small white dog
Maltese refers to anything from Malta, a small island nation in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Maltese language is a Semitic tongue with heavy Italian influence—the only Arabic-derived language written in Latin script.
A Maltese is also a breed of small, long-haired white dog, prized as a lapdog for centuries: Her Maltese follows her everywhere.
