Maltese was excluded too, and falls into a similar position of being unrelated genetically but having imported a lot of vocabulary through Italian and English. It started as an Arabic dialect, but has a very high loanword rate, so a simple sentence is indistinguishable from Arabic, but a complex sentence is easy to understand for a speaker of a Romance language. It's stuff like that which can't be drawn in a chart like this.
