Maybe that's why TU/Libyan is higher then LB/Tunisian, or because we spake more pure Arabic then them ^_^.
Anyway, as a Libyan I think the result between LB/Tunisian and TU/Libyan should be same. Actually intelligibility should be higher than that. I'm saying that because I listen to a lot of Tunisian rap songs. I understand almost everything 97%. Regarding TU/Maltese and LB/Maltese maybe Tunisians are better because they are nearest to Malta.
You can find more information regrading intelligibility on this study.

I remember that this italki member was a Maltese teacher before, but it seems that he stopped
teaching now: https://www.italki.com/user/2652282
I remember that some of his discussions about Maltese language were interesting to me if you
would like to check them. Also you could ask him for some resources to learn the language. You
are right; 40% of Maltese is Arabic.
yes, I think you would - maybe after some sentences - understand some.
On www.tvm.com.mt you will find some videos you can listen to.

Thank you Mohammad for the link to the study comparing mutual intelligibility between Maltese, Libian and Tunisian dialects. Do you have an idea why Tunisians understand better Libians then vice-versa?
Tunisians also understand better the Maltese then then the Libians do..
interesting! Do you have any idea? Unfortunately there is no explanation on this on the slideshow.
