Christopher Hanby Baillie Reynolds (29 July 1922 – 3 April 2015) was the first British academic to study the Maldivian language. He wrote the first English-Maldivian dictionary: this complied with the Maldive Government's 1970's then Roman-transliteration scheme. The material was available to academics from the 1970s, and finally published in 432 pages with 5000 individual entries in 2003. The dictionary complemented his 1993 150-page Maldives ( number 158) book.
