The Maltese (Maltese: Maltin) people are an ethnic group native to Malta who speak Maltese, a Semitic language with a substantial Romance superstratum,[15] and share a common Maltese history and culture characterised by Roman Catholicism, which remains the state religion.[16] Malta, an island country in the Mediterranean Sea, is an archipelago that also includes an island of the same name together with the islands of Gozo (Maltese: Għawdex) and Comino (Maltese: Kemmuna); people of Gozo, Gozitans (Maltese: Għawdxin) are considered a subgroup of the Maltese.
