I can't find out what language this is: ދިވެހިބަސް?

Question

I found it on Wikipedia and am not sure what it is. It looks like a cross of Arabic and East Asian to me, and when I put it on Google and Bing translate for auto-detect, It could not find the language. Google said that "it could not yet translate hawaiian", but I thought hawaiian was written using the lattin alphabet, Like fijian. I'm so confused! Please Help Me!

The other answerer was close. It's "Dhivehi", also known as "Maldivian", an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken by about 350,000 people in the Republic of Maldives where it is the national language. Dhivehi is written using a script called "Thaana" or "Tāna". Some of the Taana letters were derived from a previous script, while others were modelled on Arabic numerals. Vowel indication is modelled on the Arabic system of diacritics.
