Category:Maltese rare terms

Maltese terms that are rarely found in general use and may not be recognized by some native speakers.

To categorize into this category, use {{tlb|mt|rare}} (template tlb, not lb), which should typically be placed next to the headword.

If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized instead in [[Category:Maltese rare forms]] (using {{rare form of|mt|...}} or {{rare spelling of|mt|...}}). If only some senses of the term are rare, it should be categorized instead in [[Category:Maltese terms with rare senses]], using {{lb|mt|rare}} (template lb instead of tlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense.

Rare terms should be distinguished from uncommon terms, which are not common but used enough to be generally recognized.
