Thanks for Hulhevi Media for uploading this clip. I was in Maldives during the period from 1987-1994. I used go to the National Library - Male' very often and I can remember that I came to know about the Giravaru people for the first time from one of the books in the library. This is the first time I got an opportunity to view an interview given by a person from Giravaru origin.
Being a diaspora of South Indian decent it's wonderful to document culture. We are all people of deep culture and traditions. These things must live on.
Giravaru were speaking Dravidian(Tamil- Malayalam)language not Dhivehi.... Unfortunately language is lost but assumption is it must be somewhat similar to Jeseri Malayalam...Since it is also located in similar Island chain

Such an interesting story
Thanks for sharing
Sad to see their original language and culture destroyed and made extinct! 😞
No the language and culture still exist on other islands, giraavaru is only 1

I could hear some Tamil, Malayalam, and Sinhala. 😢😢
I'm Thamil. they say Giraavaru are descendants of seafaring thamil people. but i dont understand anything this man says.🤔
It's because he are speaking dhivehi. It's an indo Aryan language. Giraavaru people adopted the language of The late comers
@Blogger Ash Sinhalese is the language closest related to dhivehi
@@ahmedqithshan5218 Maldivian also has Tamil loanwords
From Which Indian City Giravaaru People Came To Maldives And In Which Year ???
1000s of years before from tamil nadu
Im from fuamulah,but he isnt speaking very clearly,is that a giraavaru thing?
He's old you idiot
Wut the nut? These are Maldives people
That is their accent unique to them.
Do they still speak Tamil language

@@larsswig912 Do they identify them as descent of Tamil origin
@@PerumPalli I think yes, but I'm not sure. I've never met someone from Giraavaru
