The locals have been relocated to test the atomic bomb back around 1946-1958, the nuclear residue still lingers today So there isn’t much to say about it lol
A few notes about this episode, since I’ve been to the Maldives: -in 2009 the government allowed the locals to open guesthouses, so it’s not all resorts. I stayed in one as a backpacker -getting around isn’t that hard, just time consuming. There are cheap ferries from Male to the various atolls -you didn’t mention their unique type of hammock
Love to Maldives from India 🇮🇳🇲🇻 Barby... Ive been watching your videos right from Afghanistan...Love your research and work. I would like to point out an inconistency in the maps of India, Pakistan and China. While you show Aksai Chin, Pakistan Adminstered Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as Pink in the India map, Pak adminstered Kashmir is not shown in Pink in Pakistan map nor is Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh ('south Tibet') shown in Pink in the China map. If disputed territories are to be shown in pink, then it should apply to Pakistan and China maps too...
It's quite relieving to here that at the very least we've made a big positive impact on the Maldivian Economy and Maldivians in general, with all the treaties and stuff. Given the rate at which our economy is deteriorating here in Sri Lanka, I never thought this would be possible. Also thank you to the Maldivians for recognizing us as your best friends, we will never forget you. :)
Ranil Abeyasinghe we love you guys 🇱🇰❤️🇲🇻I’ve personally been to Colombo almost a dozen times you have a beautiful and fertile country...I’ve been when the Tamil ealam was a real threat and I’m glad it’s been resolved so srilanka can flourish again...we aren’t sympathetic to the Tamil ealam because they invaded us in the 1980s and Rajiv Gandhi’s got rid of them for us and poor fellow was murdered by them..rip :( anywho I think the closeness between the countries is because that’s where most of us are decendant from Buddhist settlers from who settled Maldives thousands of years ago and their descendants converted to Islam but even millennia of separation and difference in religion can’t tear our bond :’) bffs forever ❤️❤️
I think every Sri Lankan can agree that if the Maldives has problems because of rising sea levels and they need to evacuate, they would be much welcomed to stay in SL :D
I was in Sri Lanka studying between 1988 and 1994. From neighborhood countries Lanka is the best. In the neighborhood I stayed we had different faiths but everyone was like family. Very sad for the current situation.
I was about to comment the same thing. Technically they didn't kill all the Buddhists, their ancestors were forced converted and radicalized. Glad my people are still Buddhists.
Josh Tyler Yeaaahh, pretty sure wherever you're from has just as much human rights issues but hey. You're an outsider who most probably learned all you know about my country from this video. You probably know more about my country than I do.

@Kareem Maqbool hmmm. This generation has changed a lot. So yeah! It could be. But my self as a maldivian girl , I dont think many girls think as u said.

Zhengxian Li the Tuvalu people want their country to sink, why? Because if they do they get Australian or New Zealand citizenship. How do I know, because I met their prime minister
100% Maldivian and this is the first time I heard about Bubul Tarang. Apparently, it's a type of guitar that is traditionally used to play music at festivals like Eid and Independence Day.
Only fact that you got wrong was about the bulbul tarang instrument. Thats an indian instrument which we never really used that much. Although a maldivian female singer in the late 19th century did make and use her own version of the instrument.
Barbs, when you spoke about Dhivehi being a language cousin of Sinhalese, the Indian flag wasn't necessary. Sinhalese is only spoken in Sri Lanka. Great episode tho. Being part of Lankan diaspora, I can confirm that the Maldives are probably our closest friends/cousins and we share a lot of culture and ties with them. 🇲🇻🤝🇱🇰❤️
A country which is 99% ocean. Accidents can happens if people are not following rules. diving is not a dangerous thing to do if you following rules and regulations.
As a Pole, I'll give you some tips for the Poland episode. "W" makes a "V" sound. "Ł" makes a "W" sound. "Ź" makes a "Ž" sound. "RZ" or "Ż" make a "Ř" sound. "Ó" makes a "U" sound but also with a "W" tonation. "Ą" makes a "AW" sound. Just in case you wouldn't have to spend time on researching.

Get me one of those Paradise Bungalows!
Maldivian here and your pronounciation is hilarious, especially hulhule' (not pronounced like huhule')
thefruitkiwi the Lh sound isn’t in the English language so they’d find it hard even if they tried
yeah, I laughed too. :)
09:36 the Portuguese always come over 😂😂😂
Love from Pakistan, Long live Maldives!
Love u Maldivian from Bangladesh❤
By the time Tuvalu episode comes out, it will definitely be underwater
Zhengxian Li *Zimbabwe
Tuvalu is going to sink in less than 20 years, Zimbabwe will remain...
Zhengxian Li the Tuvalu people want their country to sink, why? Because if they do they get Australian or New Zealand citizenship. How do I know, because I met their prime minister
Some people in comment section suddenly become expert on Maldives and it's history. They seem to know what's best for us.
Makes sense, there are few people as knowledgable and opinionated as a comments section

soo cute!
aint talking bout you random man. talkin' bout the crab!
I'm just gonna Mal-Dive into the comment section to see if anyone made a similar pun.
You may punch me now.
*punch*
uhm...
hakaii...
👊
Your comment deserves to be pinned
A pun like this deserves not one slap, not two slaps, but a full-on rain of British-style happy-slapping.
100% Maldivian and this is the first time I heard about Bubul Tarang. Apparently, it's a type of guitar that is traditionally used to play music at festivals like Eid and Independence Day.
First time I ever heard of too😂
Only fact that you got wrong was about the bulbul tarang instrument. Thats an indian instrument which we never really used that much. Although a maldivian female singer in the late 19th century did make and use her own version of the instrument.
Oh boi, in 2 days I am flying to Maldives. Can't wait :)
It 2iill sink
Love to Maldives from Iran.
Thx 💖 from Maldives 🇲🇻
Sinhala language is native to Sri Lanka and not spoken in India. Great video as always! Cheers and love to my Maldivian friends. With love from 🇱🇰
it is in southern tamilnadu and kerala
@@siddharthsingh-hs3yv u crazy..😂

Love maldives. Great place for tourism. Very friendly people. Love from 🇮🇳
Days of stay and total cost in inr?
May Allah keep Maldive above sea forever. I want to travel there someday..
shazarul haizer maybe he might pick it up and attach it to mainland asia
Inshallah
Barbs, when you spoke about Dhivehi being a language cousin of Sinhalese, the Indian flag wasn't necessary. Sinhalese is only spoken in Sri Lanka. Great episode tho. Being part of Lankan diaspora, I can confirm that the Maldives are probably our closest friends/cousins and we share a lot of culture and ties with them. 🇲🇻🤝🇱🇰❤️

*"MALDIVES"* = The country that has a lot of *"Diving Accidents"*
....
A country which is 99% ocean. Accidents can happens if people are not following rules. diving is not a dangerous thing to do if you following rules and regulations.
Thats not nice @YukitoOnline.
pretty inaccurate
I went to Maldives 🇲🇻 it was really nice I had so fun and the resorts were super cool
As a Pole, I'll give you some tips for the Poland episode. "W" makes a "V" sound. "Ł" makes a "W" sound. "Ź" makes a "Ž" sound. "RZ" or "Ż" make a "Ř" sound. "Ó" makes a "U" sound but also with a "W" tonation. "Ą" makes a "AW" sound.
Just in case you wouldn't have to spend time on researching.
Silesian Wrath That's useful!
DIEGhostfish Thanks :).
Fake news, everyone knows Polish has no vowels.
more like ÃW̃ than AW
Greetings from Philippines, Happy 4th of July to you Americans. 😃

SPILL IT! WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE?
I'MMA NUKE THEM!
Maldives 🇲🇻 Great video as always
Love Maldives from Singapore
4:25 the way he pronounced Hulhumalé, as a Maldivian living in Hulhumalé I can’t 🤡
9:37 u say "the portuguese come in" or british protectorate in almost every video
that should be a meme
Maybe it’s because the British ate 90% of the world
