Definition: The word "Maldives" comes from the Arabic word MalΔ«d, which means "island". It was discovered by a German seaman named Ulrich KΓΆrner in 1956 while he was on his way to the Seychelles. The Maldives are an atolls and coral atoll archipelago located off the southeast coast of India. They consist of seven main islands, numerous smaller islands, and reefs. They are divided into eight groups: the Atoll Group (with 157 islands), the Atoll Group (with 126 islands) and the Atoll Group (with 83 islands). Each of the seven main islands is home to a distinct culture, including the Maldivian people. The Maldives are known for their beautiful beaches, white sandy shores, and crystal clear waters. They are also famous for their unique culture, which includes traditional music and dance, and their use of coral as a building material. The Maldives also have a thriving tourism industry, with many visitors coming to visit the island resorts and enjoy the sun and sand. The word "Maldives" is now widely used and recognized in international communication, particularly in countries such as India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
