Sinhala Online: The Sri Lanka page around Singhalese (Sinhala) (197 words) |
 | This site is more dedicated to the sinhala language than the general www.ceylon-online.com site and we will try to give you as much information about the singhalese language as possible. |
 | Additionally to the original site at www.ceylon-online.com I improved the rendering of the sinhala signs to make them nicer looking and try to give more info than on most other sites (and there are not many out there). |
 | P.S.:If someone is wondering what singhalese (or sinhala) is - it is a language spoken by the majority of the inhabitants of Sri Lanka and especially the writing is really cute (go here to see the writing). |
