Abstrakt: This paper aims to analyse irregular verbs in Maltese and compares the examples to their counterparts in four Tunisian dialects, mainly the dialect of Sousse, Tunis, Judeo Tunisian Arabic, Tunisian Arabic as described by Stumme and Moroccan. Maltese as any other Arabic dialect has continued to evolve and grow further away from Classical Arabic; the close affinities Maltese shares with the Tunisian dialects are quite obvious as are the several isoglosses attested which distinguish the Maghrebi dialects as a group. It is for this reason that Maltese here is being compared to four Tunisian dialects, with the examples given from Moroccan to often serve as contrast. This paper is partly based on the questionnaire by Dominique Caubet, 'Questionnaire du Dialectologie du Maghreb', as well as another unpublished paper by the same author entitled: 'Towards a dialectological atlas of Maltese; questions to be raised'(2007), the aims of which was to draw a linguistic atlas of the Maghrebi dialects and Maltese.
