[edit] Name in Malayalam
Why is the name not written in Malayalam as well as in English and Tamil (which it doesn't need to be) since the islands' official language is Malayalam. I don't know why the name is in Tamil.
[edit] Kiltan island
Kiltan island was missing in the list inhabited islands. I have added it earlier. But someone removed that island from the list. What might be the reason to remove that island from the list. Noorul 14:20, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 36 Islands
Everything I'm reading online suggests that these are made up of 36 Coral Islands, such as here [1] and here[2] and here [3]. Consisting of the 12 coral atolls, three coral reefs, and five banks. Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article?
[edit] Why does it say 7th?
They are not ranked 7th in area or population in area or population—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.206.165.44 (talk) 04:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
