- One of the dialects of the Maltese language is the Żejtun dialect (Standard Maltese: Djalett taż-Żejtun or Żejtuni; Żejtun Maltese: Żejtewni). This dialect is used by many of the inhabitants of Żejtun and in other settlements around this city such as Marsaxlokk, and spoken by about 12,000 people. The following three words are examples; there are many more that make it into the list of vocabulary found in this dialect.
* For 'kite' the Standard Maltese word is tajra, but in this dialect it is found as manuċċa.
* For 'foggy weather' the Standard Maltese word is ċpar, but in this dialect it is found as ċlambu.
* For 'slingshot' the Standard Maltese word is żbandola, but in this dialect it is found as steringa. All the vocal letters in this dialect possess a liquid versatility which allows the position, emphasis and tone of the vowels to change without any distinct rule; in some words the consonant letters are found to change as well. Such variations in the dialect are innate to native speakers. (en)
