Abstract

In the last quarter of the eighteenth century, Swedish orientalist Matthias Norberg (1747-1826) acts as praeses in two dissertations by his students, one on the lingua maroccana, by Michaël B. Nolleroth (1787), and the other on the lingua melitensi, by Anders Henric Corvin (1793). In this article we analyse their ideas on Moroccan Arabic and Maltese, as well as their contribution to European linguistic thought on the Western varieties of Arabic.
