Dhivehi
Hi! Are you a native Dhivehi speaker? Be sure to add a babel to your user page! —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 22:37, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi! No, not a native speaker, but I do have some experience with it and access to a few pretty well-sourced Dhivehi-English dictionaries. :) Just added my babel boxes now. GeneralPericles (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Feel free to ask me for any help, I have some degree of knowledge of most of the Indo-Aryan languages. A couple things to note: (1) Dhivehi words are usually inherited from Sanskrit, so the inh template can be used for etymologies in place of der, and (2) Dhivehi doesn't borrow from Sinhala; earlier scholars thought it did, but the general consensus now is that they branched out from Helu Prakrit (a descendant of Sanskrit) at the same time. Thanks for expanding Dhivehi! —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 00:48, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tips! I've updated the entries accordingly. GeneralPericles (talk) 05:28, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
