First time visitors are often surprised to find out that village names are harder to say than they had expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Maltese, Gozo is known as&nbsp;<em><strong>G\u0127awdex<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;and pronounced&nbsp;<em>Awdeshh,<\/em>&nbsp;that\u2019s because the&nbsp;<em>G\u0127 is silent and the x is pronounced like&nbsp;<\/em><em>shh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we thought it might be fun for you to have a go at pronouncing some place names on Gozo so the next time you visit for a holiday you can ask for directions properly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Maltese language<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maltese language has developed over time and reflects its fascinating history. It is thought to be rooted in a form of Arabic that was spoken in Sicily and Malta between the 9th and 14th centuries. And while it went extinct in Sicily, it continued in the Maltese Islands and gradually evolved into modern day Maltese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other influences on the Maltese language include the Normans who ruled here in the 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century, and the Knights Hospitaller of St John who controlled Malta from the mid 16<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century up to the end of the 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century. The knights brought with them French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Portuguese, and German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final linguistic ingredient was English \u2013 brought to Malta in 1800 when the British arrived. In 1964, when Malta gained independence, Maltese became the national language although English is still used in the education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some basic rules of Maltese pronunciation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maltese language has six vowels (a, e, i, ie [pronounced&nbsp;<em>ee<\/em>], o, u [pronounced&nbsp;<em>oo<\/em>]) and 24 consonants.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/demo-551.avantio.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maltese-alphabet.jpg\" alt=\"Maltese Alphabet\" class=\"wp-image-119\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Maltese alphabet. Image credit: www.omniglot.com<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Most letters sound very similar to their English letter equivalent. Like B, D, F, K, L, M, N, P, R, S and T. So the places like&nbsp;<strong>Nadur<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Masalforn, Ramla Bay, Sannat<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>San Lawrenz<\/strong>&nbsp;for instance, are very easy to say correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are some letters that look similar but do not sound like their English equivalents. Examples here are&nbsp;<strong>\u010a&nbsp;<\/strong>(sounds like&nbsp;<em>chuh<\/em>),&nbsp;<strong>\u0120<\/strong>&nbsp;(sounds like&nbsp;<em>juh<\/em>),&nbsp;<strong>J&nbsp;<\/strong>(sounds like&nbsp;<em>yuh<\/em>),&nbsp;<strong>Q<\/strong>&nbsp;(sounds like&nbsp;<em>uh<\/em>)&nbsp;<strong>X&nbsp;<\/strong>(sounds like&nbsp;<em>shh<\/em>) and<strong>&nbsp;\u017b&nbsp;<\/strong>(sounds like&nbsp;<em>zuh<\/em>). In addition, the unique letter&nbsp;<strong>\u0126\u0127<\/strong>&nbsp;sounds like huh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The Maltese Alphabet\" width=\"751\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pw0Qxeiv6UE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when you first arrive on Gozo at M\u0121arr Harbour, it\u2019s useful to know that the locals pronounce it&nbsp;<em>Imjarr<\/em>&nbsp;(an&nbsp;<strong>I<\/strong>&nbsp;goes in front of an M in Maltese, if the second letter is another consonant).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The little village of&nbsp;<strong>Ker\u010bem<\/strong>, to the west of Gozo\u2019s capital Victoria (Rabat), is pronounced&nbsp;<em>Kerchem<\/em>. You\u2019d probably travel through the village on your way to visit Gozo\u2019s spectacular Dwerja Bay (<em>Dweryuh<\/em>) on the island\u2019s west coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And knowing how to pronounce the \u010a properly is also very helpful when you\u2019re ordering a local beer in a bar or cafe on Gozo. Just remember to pronounce \u010aisk as&nbsp;<em>chisk<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Gozo\u2019s \u2018must-see\u2019 attractions is the UNESCO World heritage site, the&nbsp;<strong>\u0120gantija Temples<\/strong>. To say this properly it sounds more like&nbsp;<em>Juhgantiyuh.&nbsp;<\/em>The nearest village to the temple complex is&nbsp;<em><strong>Xag\u0127ra<\/strong><\/em><em>,&nbsp;<\/em>and you should know that it is pronounced&nbsp;<em>Shhara<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/demo-551.avantio.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ggantija-Temples-Gozo.jpg\" alt=\"Ggantija Temple\" class=\"wp-image-120\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Gozo\u2019s famous \u0120gantija Temples (pronounced Juhgantiyuh).

These are, of course, correctly pronounced&nbsp;<em>Shhlendi<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Shhewkiyuh<\/em>, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Munxar<\/strong>, near Xlendi, is correctly pronounced&nbsp;<em>Munshhar<\/em>&nbsp;and the village of&nbsp;<strong>Qala&nbsp;<\/strong>in Gozo\u2019s south eastern corner is pronounced&nbsp;<em>Uhala.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch out for the silent letters \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further complicate things, there are two silent letters in Maltese \u2013&nbsp;<strong>G\u0127\/g\u0127<\/strong><em>,&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<strong>H<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the popular village of&nbsp;<strong>G\u0127arb&nbsp;<\/strong>in the north west side of the island, thought to be the oldest village on Gozo, is pronounced&nbsp;<em>Arb<\/em>.
