      @Cherrivibez.MP3 at first only barb used to be there in the videos. Then eventually his team started to appear in the videos. Like 2 to 3... and it kept increasing. So As the videos are given by alphabetical order by the end of the last country with 'Z', there might be many ppl that may show up in it. ( According to the previous person comment)

    Javanese scripts are still taught in school as a compulsary subject in Java and still widely used for the tourism field (street names, place names, souvenirs, etc). But yeh I’ve seen 0.00% of people who use Javanese script on daily basis, so it’s pretty much dying.

    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

There are so many Maldivians here now, many of whom come as short term residents, as well as those who come for work, higher education etc. And yes, the languages are similar too :) After they became super famous as a holiday destination and developed their economy, Maldivians I think have a higher per capita gdp than Sri lankans too. XD I guess we can learn a lot from our small neighbour. Also a lot of their diplomatic missions to other states are located in Sri Lanka too 😇 The ties run deep, and hopefully stay strong for years to come! (btw can’t wait for the Sri Lanka episode!!!)
