Maltese
Maltese is a Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet, with Arabic morphology and a vocabulary layered with Italian and English borrowings — the only such combination in the European Union.
Script: Latin · Family: Semitic
The letters ċ, ġ, ħ and ż are distinct letters; replacing them with ASCII equivalents changes the word.
American English
English is the shortest of the supported languages in almost every measurement, which is why interfaces designed in English tend to break when translated into anything else.
Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic
British and American spelling, date order and vocabulary differ enough to matter; choose EN-GB or EN-US explicitly instead of bare EN.
Formality in this pair
American English has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
