馬爾代夫/Maldives
根据马尔代夫当地的传说，马尔代夫的第一位苏丹本来是一位叫Koimale的僧伽罗族王子。他与妻子──当时斯里兰卡国王的女儿──流落到这个环礁湖，并且决定留下来。
多个世纪以来，阿拉伯海及印度洋沿岸各国的水手不断来到马尔代夫，并且使到当地发展起来。
中国元朝旅行家汪大渊曾访问北溜，[1]北溜就是马累的对音。同时期的摩洛哥旅行家伊本·白图泰也在此生活过一段时间。在明朝文献中，马尔代夫被称为溜山。永乐年间郑和下西洋，亦曾到溜山。随郑和下西洋的翻译官马欢在所著的《瀛涯胜览》有专条纪述。
The Maldives (i/ˈmɒldaɪvz/ or /ˈmɒldiːvz/), (Dhivehi: ދިވެހިރާއްޖެ, Dhivehi Raa'je), officially Republic of Maldives (Dhivehi: ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ ޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާ, Dhivehi Raa'jeyge Jumhooriyya), also referred to as the Maldive Islands, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean formed by a double chain of twenty-six atolls oriented north-south off India's Lakshadweep islands, between Minicoy Island and Chagos Archipelago. It stands in the Laccadive Sea, about 700 kilometres (430 mi) south-west of Sri Lanka and 400 kilometres (250 mi) south-west of India. During the colonial era, the Dutch referred to the country as "Maldivische Eilanden" in their documentation, while "Maldive Islands" is the anglicised version of the local name used by the British, which later came to be written "Maldives".
