No mate,

We speak our own local language here called "Dhivehi" which is indegenious to only Maldive Islands. A famous "dhivehi" word incorporated into English would be "Atoll". I am fluent in English since our education system is English based, and ofcourse Dhivehi.

Take care mate.

As a nation we have a 3,000 year old colorful history as a independant nation kingdom.

We played a major part in the trade routes between arabia and far east and china as vessels stopped over for supplies.

So we are heavily mixed with strong Singhahlese (Sri Lankan) and indo-aryan races along with arabs and african slaves.

There are no distinct races here today as so much intermarriage has sort of created a unique citizen and all Maldivians identify their race as Maldivians.

If you have heard of Ibn Batutta the famous arab traveler and historian, who visited Maldives and stayed here for quite sometime and was in service of the Sultan as a judge.

Take care.

Hey Winston,

Yes Everything is fine.. the president had to go after power went to his head. Really touched by your concern for our safety.. :) So nice of you guys.

and no tourist should be worried since we only have our resorts on islands by themselves so they remain untouched to the going on's of our locals! :) So don't discourage anyone you know from taking a holiday here.. I can 100% assure you its safe for ALL tourists.. :)

Thanks guys once again. Really nice of you...
