The ethnic autonym for the language, "Divehi", is occasionally found in English as "Dhivehi" (spelled according to the locally used Malé Latin for romanization of the Maldivian language), which is the official spelling as well as the common usage in the Maldives. Maldivian is written in the Thaana script.
