It's not a pidgin

There's a road close to the hotel called Filigas Magu (Filigas Street).  At the end of it is the only petrol (gas) station on Male'.  Initially, I wondered if it was pidgin but it turns out to be just an amusing coincidence.  Filigas is a kind of tree.  Fili is also the name given to the 'squiggles' above and below the main characters in dhivehi, which represent the vowel sounds.

Not pidgin
