oops
some or all of that may have been outdated info

for it now appears there may be officially 6 or 7
districts & 31 localities
http://www.citypopulation.de/Malta.html
tho it isnt clear if the districts have a function &
replace the 3 regions
nor how the present 31 localities relate to the
possibly former 68

nor indeed which of the sources i am cribbing from is
more current & or authentic

cf
http://www.statoids.com/umt.html
&
http://www.statoids.com/ymt.html

but 3 district tripoints do loom large & inviting on
the above unofficial somewhat zoomable map

traveling north to south
gcnhno
nhnosh
seshwe
an attractive ensemble
i mean if the map can be believed

& they are no harder to pronounce than any of the
other local names

but perhaps you will learn the real truth from better
maps
or from direct experience

vis tecum
