Modern Maltese is very heavily influenced by Latin and Romance-languages, but Wikipedia states this started after the rechristianisation of Malta was completed in the 1250's, and reading on the Emirate of Sicily it would seem the pre-conquest Romance-variety of the island had more or less died out by the time of the Norman conquest, leaving me to assume Siculo-Arabic lacked the strong Romance-influence that would come to define Maltese? But what about a Greek-influence? Wikipedia states the emirate's commonfolk would've been a mix of Siculo-Arabic-speaking muslims and Greek-speaking christians, and then ofc the Romance-speakers puttering on in the background, did this sizable Greek community leave any linguistic mark on Siculo-Arabic?
