Dhivehi Script is the writing system used for the Maldivian language, known as Dhivehi. It is an abugida, meaning each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The script is derived from the ancient Tana script and has evolved over time to suit the phonetic needs of the language. The script consists of 30 letters, including 21 consonants and 9 vowels. It is written from left to right and is unique to the Maldives, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage. The use of Dhivehi Script is essential for preserving the language and its literature.
