Maldivian Dhivehi :

The Dhivehi, Divehi, or Mahl (Mahal) language is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 350,000 people in the Republic of Maldives and also in the island of Maliku (Minicoy) in Union territory of Lakshadweep, India.

Many languages have influenced the development of Divehi through the ages, most importantly Sinhala and Arabic. Others include French, Persian, Portuguese, and English.

H. C. P. Bell was one of the first transliterators of this tongue. Bell called the language Divehi, which was consistent with Maldives, the name of the country, for the -dives of Maldives and the word Divehi have the same root, Sanskrit dvīpa "island".

Wilhelm Geiger was a German linguist who undertook the first research on Divehi linguistics in the early 20th century. He also called the language Divehi, without an "h". However In 1976, when a semi-official Latin transliteration was developed for the Divehi language, an "h" was added to the name of the language, though it is an unaspirated sound, so this inconsistency has yet to be resolved.

English words such as atoll (a ring of coral islands or reefs) and doni (a vessel for inter-atoll navigation) are anglicized forms of the Divehi words Atoḷu and Dōni.

The origin of the word "Divehi" is Div+vehi meaning Islanders' while bas means language. So Divehi-bas means Islanders' language.

The Lakshadweep Administration in India refers to Divehi as Mahl. The origin of the word "Mahl" is based on the Arabic name of the language and of the Maldives, which was al-lughath al-Mahaldibiyya and ad-Daulath al-Mahaldibiyya respectively. On this basis the British officials in British India recorded the name of the language as Mahl.
