As time went on, the Maldivian language and civilization underwent advancements and developmental changes, which are visible in parallel changes that took place in the prehistoric writing systems. The Eveyla & Dhives scripts later development is exclusive to the Maldivians, even if early influences from their place of origin may still be traced.
