Shameera, this post appears to be about the modern Divehi script known as Thaana. There is very little, if at all, similarity between Thaana and Sinhala. The latter is, essentially, a Brahmic-based abugida. While Thaana is, arguably, an abugida, its consonants and vowels are not Brahmic. The first 9 consonants are based on the Arabic numerals. The second 9 consonants are based on the ancient Maldive-decimal numerals and the remaining consonants are variations based on tails, arms and dots added to the first 18 consonants. The Thaana vowels, which are never omitted as in other abjads, are always displayed. These vowels are based on the Arabic diacritical marks. The older two Divehi scripts were Brahmic abugidas and have similarities with Sinhala. The more recent of the scripts (Dives Akuru) were used in official communications between the Sultan's government in Male and the southern atolls until 1924, when the last official scribe of the script in Male was implicated in a plot to depose the reigning sultan, in favour of his predecessor's eldest son. The scribe was eventually pardoned and served in the judiciary rising up to become chief justice. In 1958, in his retirement, the old scribe was commissioned to write a textbook of Dives Akuru. He was able to complete only one volume of the work before he was taken ill and died in 1970.
@@THE_HALALBOI_yt no, not all Maldivians are Muslims. Please prove otherwise. Several years ago, your criminal government jailed many of your people for being Christian. They were released because your country was going to be blacklisted by the civilised world if you didn't release them. If you were backlisted, you have been reduced to eating leaves and sea-slugs. You guys were afraid and so you decided to let your Christians remain Christians to promote the Divehi Bible online. Please let me know if you want an online link to the Divehi Bible.

@masfathafolhi5918 Sri Lankans (and southern Indians), especially Tamils, use an unorthodox spelling convention when writing in the Roman alphabet. So when they write "thaalu", they really mean (accoring to your Letting-akuru ލެޓިން އަކުރު convention) "dhaalu", which, of course, is your consonant ދ as opposed to your consonant ތ
@masfathafolhi5918 so if some of these people here, especially, native Tamil speakers, transliterate your RUclips nickname @masfathafolhi5918 to Thaana, they are likely to spell it as 5918މަސްފަދަފޮޅި@ as opposed to 5918މަސްފަތަފޮޅި@. Let us hope they use the ދ dhaalu consonant, as opposed to the ޑ daviyani consonant. I'm sure you won't be too impressed if they referred to you as މަސްފަޑަފޮޅި5918@
