Dhivehi Language Academy (Dhivehi: ދިވެހިބަހުގެ އެކެޑަމީ, romanizedDhivehibahuge Ekedamee), is the national academy for promoting the Dhivehi language in the Maldives, established on 8 August 2011.[2] The main office of the organization is located at Sosunge, in Malé, the capital of the Maldives.

History

[edit]

Dhivehi Academy was established after the abolition of the Maldives National Centre for Linguistic and Historic Research, which was locally known as Dhivehi Bahaai Thaareekhah Khidhumaiy Kuraa Qaumee Marukaz.[3] The Academy was established after the National Language (Priority) Bill was ratified by President Mohamed Nasheed which was passed by the Parliament.[4]
