On International Mother Language Day, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu posted on social media celebrating the Dhivehi language as central to Maldivian identity and survival. The article notes Dhivehi is the official language of the Maldives, spoken by around 350,000 people, with distinct dialect variations in the southernmost atolls.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
International Mother Language Day, observed on February 21st, serves as a reminder of the vital importance of preserving and promoting linguistic diversity.
