Dhivehi: A Mixture of Languages

Maldivian is the official language of the Maldives and a semi-official language in the union territory of Lakshadweep, India.

Dhivehi, also known as Maldivian, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in the Maldives and by about 340,500 people in India (as of 2012).

It is a unique mixture of Arabic, English, Hindi, and Sinhalese, reflecting the country's history and cultural influences.

Despite its small population, Dhivehi has a rich literary tradition, with a significant body of poetry, prose, and drama.
