Hey all, been long since i updated this CrAxY place..well guess this is an update now..so where was i huh ? well i was busy with KS anniversary (KS – Kalaafaanu School) and also helping a sweet girl in some fair in Dharumavantha School, And helping out some children in a few dances… well still stuck up with a few more of those.. and guess what !! as usual i did not have time to update.. so whats the CrAxInEsS this time.. here it goes

I just came to think about this word “Atoll”, Which checked up on the English Dictionary. And i was wondering why Atoll its just not so English like word, and with that i thought i would just do some research on it and then i came to know… to know .. to know.. aaaaaah .. to know… hmm to know.. that it got some deep shit to it.. ekkekekeek.

I came to know that Maldives is a whole lot more – a history going back to at least 1,500 BC, distinctive island culture, and a nation that is struggling to reconcile tradition with modernity. Dhivehi, the Maldivian language, contributed the word “Atoll” (a ring-shaped coral reef) to the English language.

The English Language Extracted this word from the word “Atholhu ” in Dhivehi (an Indo-Aryan language spoken on the Maldive Islands). Its first recorded use in English was in 1625 as atollon. WOW !!! koool huh!! it gets better.

And then a suprise.. do you know the guy named Charles Darwin.. yeah the one who talked about evolution, famous person and a genius huh.. well this dude popularized
the word “Atoll” in 1842.

So we got a Dhivehi originated word in the English Language, also a word which was popularized by one of the most famous people ever lived.

And who ever made the word Atholhu was definitely a Maldivian, and who ever it was may god bless his/her soul, And thanks for getting us a space in the English Dictionary.

Well that’s it for this update.. see ya all .. get CrAxY.. and Do comment. please..!! cya..
