Introduction

The Thaana (or Taana) script is used to write Dhivehi (also known as Divehi and Maldivian). Dhivehi is the official language of the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

Thaana is written right-to-left, similar to Arabic. Vowels are written as diacritics above and below the consonants.
