Didn't we used to have a native speaker of Maltese on this list years ago? I wonder how he'd like that one. ... and I just remembered referring to English as "essentially a mix of Low German and even lower French", and now that Malta gets to hang around with French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Polish speakers a little more, that'll surely make Maltese the quintessential muttlang. Or would Romani still hold that honor?
