\n‘Dhivehi’ is a principal language of Lakshadweep.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile Malayalam is the widely spoken language in most islands of Lakshadweep, the people of Minicoy Island, which is part of the Lakshadweep Union Territory, speak Mahl. Mahl is a dialect of Dhivehi, the official language of the Republic of Maldives. Thus, Dhivehi (in the form of Mahl) is a principal language for a part of the UT.
\n<\/section>\n
