Good now you can go to MALTA and speak Algerian, for sure will be at 80% understood, if you do not speak Algerian, than you can print this and learn Algerian language as well...

Thanx Fortunato
I went to Malta last year. One thing really cracked me up there!
They hadn't had any rain for months, then one afternoon it poured down! All the Maltese people got really excited started shouting

"****ta! ****ta!" ('It's raining)

All the Brits on holiday were falling over laughing!

I didn't realise Maltese was so close to Algerian though..

(Ha Ha! I just noticed the word has been censored, it rhymes with "Hitta")

[TabassRassou]

In algerian we say "shta" for rain. It seems very close to Maltese.
