Bell, a British commissioner of the Ceylon Civil Service. Bell was shipwrecked on the islands in 1879, and he returned several times to investigate ancient Buddhist ruins. Historians have established that by the fourth century A.D. Theravada Buddhism originating from Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) became the dominant religion of the people of Maldives.

Maldives - The Sunny Side Of Life...

http://www.visitmaldives.com.mv/Maldives/culture.php

Extractions: a Nation of Islands Destination... Maldives Fast facts Geography History Culture ... Festivals Getting Here Where to Stay Things to Do Home Destination Maldives The language of the Maldivians is Dhivehi, a language which is placed in the Indro-Indian group of languages. Dhivehi with its roots in Sanskrit and according to some researchers Elu, an ancient form of Sinhala, (spoken in Sri Lanka), is strongly influenced by the major lanuguages of the region. The language has been influenced heavily from Arabic since the advent of the Islam in 1153 and English in more recent times, especially since the introduction of English as a medium of education in the early 1960s. Given the wide dispersion of islands it is not surprising that the vocabulary and pronunciation vary from atoll to atoll, with the difference being more significant in the dialects spoken in the southernmost atolls. The Maldivian script known as thaana was invented during the 16th century soon after the country was liberated from Portuguese rule. Unlike former scripts thaana is written from right to left. This was devised to accommodate Arabic words that are frequently used in Dhivehi. There are 24 letters in the thaana alphabet.

Extractions: ADVERTISING INFORMATION Idyllic beach Mal , which is built on one of the atoll islands that constitute The Maldives (which is, of course, Culture, in the deepest meaning of the word!) You must not be afraid, though, that you will be asked to go into any "Survivor" type scheme of vacations. There are several interesting entertaining diversions here . Some of them are: The Republic Square This square is not the kind of square that you might normally expect. You will not find the usual buildings on each side and a quiet pace. C onstructed along the northern waterfront in 1989, this e north side of the square is the sea, on the west are some commercial buildings, to the south is the Islamic Centre and the headquarters of the National Security Service (NSS), and on the east is the new Headquarters of the Police. On the sea-ward side is also the Presidential Jetty used by the President and members of the cabinet on trips to various locations around the Maldives and the world. The square is where earlier there used to be some government office buildings which were pulled down and given office space in other locations. It is also one of the places from which the mercenaries who invaded the Maldives on the 3rd of November 1989 attacked the HQ of the NSS, and where they held some civilians as hostages to try and force access to the compound.

Extractions: Legend has it that a prince and his wife, the daughter of the King of todays Sri Lanka, stopped at Raa Atoll during a voyage and were invited to stay as rulers of the country. Later, King Koimala and his wife settled in Malé with the permission of the Giraavaru tribe, the aboriginal tribe of Kaafu atoll. Nowadays Giraavaru people are still easily recognizable through their clothes and hairstyle, but only a few hundred of them are left and were resettled in Malé in 1978. Their island, Giraavaru has been transformed into a tourist resort. Aryans from India and Sri Lanka are believed to have settled in the Maldives from 1500 BC onwards - according to latest archaeological findings. Elu, an archaic form of Sinhala (spoken in Sri Lanka) shows great similarities to Dhivehi. As a favorite stop-over on the busy trade routes, the Maldives have had many visitors and influences, trading with Arabia, China and India with coconut, dried fish and above all the precious cowry shell, a small white shell found on the beach, used as currency in countries near the Indian Ocean. These shells were found as far away as Norway or West Africa showing the extent of the trade relations of the Maldives. Conversion to Islam

The national religion, Islam, was brought to Maldives by an Arabian traveler and it has since then been embraced by all the locals.

Extractions: Our newsgroup lies somewhere within all that, we are in the cultural section of the infamous alt hierarchy. There is one other place we could exist , but for now we would like to be here. True, it is a scary place, but every scary place has it's merits. The alt.culture.maldives (or simple-case acm for short), is the only one of it's kind. Well, that is a bit of a lie. There exists another , though it would be very hard to find where it exists. Why all the fuss? One might wonder.... Well, it just so happens that being on acm makes us very unique. Trust me on this. I mean I could go on and on... about acm..., but I've got a feeling that you'd rather have me jump to the juicy bit about how you can read this newsgroup. Right? Ok, since you don't have an appeal for the arts, I would without future ado reveal the hidden secrets and mantras that you have to recite before you get admitted to the acm.

http://www.destinationplanner.com/asia/maldives/culture.html

Extractions: Though performances of traditional music and dance are not everyday events, there is a contemporary Divehi culture which is strong and adaptive, despite foreign influences which range from Hindi movies and Oriental martial arts to Michael Jackson and Muslim fundamentalism. Western fashions, pop music and videos are visible in the capital, but on public occasions, like the beginning and end of Ramadan, the celebrations always have a distinctly Maldivian touch. There are three daily newspapers and several magazines in the unique national language, rock bands who sing Divehi lyrics, and multi-storey buildings which echo the architecture of Maldivian island houses. Islam is the national religion and all Maldivians are Sunni Muslims. No other religions are permitted, though ancient beliefs survive: for example, islanders fear jinnis - evil spirits which come from the sea, land and sky. These are blamed for everything that cannot be explained by religion or science. Fish and rice are the staple foods of Maldivians with meat and chicken eaten only on special occasions. National dishes include fried fish, fish curry and fish soup. Arecanut (an oval nut chewed with betel leaf, cloves and lime) is the equivalent of an after-dinner mint. Alcohol is only available in tourist resorts. The local brew is raa, a sweet and delicious toddy tapped from the crown of the palm trunk. Apart from coconuts, there are very few fruits and vegetables grown on the islands, so most of the food served at tourist resorts is imported.
