Major romanization methods[edit]

The following are the major romanization methods for Maldivian:

Malé Latin[edit]

Mālē Leṭin or Nasiri Latin is romanization scheme for Maldivian used as the official script from 1976 to 1978. It continues to be the most–used method of romanization for the Maldivian Language.

ISO 15919[edit]
