| has gloss | eng: Dhivehi Latin or Maldivian Latin (known colloquially as Malé Latin or "Nasiri Latin") was an officially-enforced romanization scheme in the Maldives. It was meant both for the local Dhivehi (called Mahal in Minicoy) and for the Arabic language in the mid 1970s. Up to that time Maldivians had been traditionally using two alphabets simultaneously, the Tāna script and the Arabic script. |
