Forget that. The Totally Official Clue is:
Veni, vidi, vehicle.

In hotel shuttle bus language, of course.
Jerry Friedman
Hm.
The Other Totally Official Clue is
Part of the name of the language comes from a word whose translation
into English has a hyponym that comes from the language we're looking
for.

During a wedding ceremony last year, the bride and groom were solemnly
informed in this language that they were pig-tailed chicken-lickers.

'Minivan' is Dhivehi/Maldivian for 'independent'.
Jerry Friedman, TO Panelist, had hinted:

'Atoll' is from Maldivian, while the 'div' in 'Maldivian' and the
'dhiv' in 'Dhivehi' mean "island".

Sounds gibberish to me. Despite the clever post editing from the panelist,
no one had made the 'minivan' connection before VB offer a lesbian wedding
prank
that practically give away the answer. So this is how high IQ societies
operates.
What a riot!
Vinny Burgoo
Why lesbian? Is 'chicken-licker' slang for 'lesbian'?
Here's a report of the wedding in Minivan News:

Good question, Urban think so, OED doesn't have a clue,
no idea what the panelists or didi thinks, he used motherfucking,
chickenass, and other gibberish. Saw the video version.

I thought so. You're one of them.

That's a cryptic comment that deserves expansion. "Them"? We have never
seen any hint that musika could be an Islamic lesbian, nor that he posts
from the Maldives.

Just for you

I'm sorry for making you feel unappreciated. I've been tied up
with other works and since it's the Summer Doldrums Competition,
I didn't take Peter Moylan's McCarthyite seriously. The comment I
made on lesbian, was about an unfamiliar slang term used in one of the two
clues, but I didn't go into Islamic issue. Peter's statement was so
ridiculous I assumed he was horsing around. Guess I was wrong.

That's OK, Liz. I think we were all messing about.
