But one could say if it weren't for the Arab conquest, then Sicilian would have naturally become the language of Sicily. Though Malta is still just as much as Sicilian language as Maltese is. After all, Sicilian came from Lazio/Latium if we go back far enough.
But anyways, there's another question I've been meaning to ask for a while. Do you know why Sicily is so over-represented on GEDmatch and stuff? On GEDmatch, they often have multiple reference samples in the oracle. Kinda weird for such a small place. Sure, it has genetic diversity, but it can't be more genetically diverse than North Italy or some other places which only have a single sample. Also, the Lukasz report has Sicily divided into seven different regions (eight if you include Malta) based on genetic differences. Do you know why that is? Has Sicily just been studied much more by professionals than other regions of the world?
