Dhivehi

Dhivehi is the official language of the Maldives, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean. It is a member of the Indo-Aryan language family and is closely related to Sinhala, the language of Sri Lanka. Dhivehi is spoken by over 400,000 people in the Maldives and is the only language used in the country.

Dhivehi is written in the Thaana script, which is derived from the Arabic script. The language has a rich literary tradition, with many works of literature written in Dhivehi. It is also the language of instruction in schools and universities in the Maldives.

Dhivehi has a complex grammar and a large vocabulary. It is an agglutinative language, meaning that words are formed by adding suffixes and prefixes to a root word. Dhivehi also has a number of dialects, which vary from island to island.

The language has been influenced by many other languages, including Arabic, Persian, and English. This has resulted in a unique blend of words and phrases that are not found in other languages.

Dhivehi is an important part of the culture and identity of the Maldivian people. It is used in everyday life, in literature, and in the media. It is also an important part of the country’s tourism industry, as many tourists come to the Maldives to learn the language and experience the culture.
