Dhivehi  

Definition

  • Dhivehi or Maldivian is an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken in the Maldives, where it is the national language. Maldivian is a descendent of Maharashtri Prakrit and is closely related to Marathi, Konkani and Sinhalese languages, but not mutually intelligible with them. Maldivian is written in the Thaana script. Like other Indo-Iranian languages, Dhivehi belongs to the Indo-European languages, the world’s largest language family by number of native speakers.
