About the language
Sinhala, also known as Sinhalese or Singhala, is spoken as a first language by the majority of the population of Sri Lanka, where it shares official status with Tamil. There are another 3 million people who speak it as a second language. Its closest relative is Dhivehi, or Maldivian. Over time it has borrowed extensively from Tamil. The written and spoken forms of Sinhala are significantly different, including different grammatical features.

Sinhala
sometimes called Sinhalese is an Indo-Aryan language primarily spoken by the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka, who make up the largest ethnic group on the island, numbering about 16 million. Sinhala is also spoken as the first language by other ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, totalling about 2 million people as of 2001. It is written using the Sinhala script, which is a Brahmic script closely related to the Grantha script of South India.
Sinhala is one of the official and national languages of Sri Lanka. Along with Pali, it played a major role in the development of Theravada Buddhist literature.
Fun facts of language
- Where English has ‘here’ and ‘there’, Sinhala has four words: ‘here, close to me’, ‘there, close to you’, ‘there, close to that visible person’ and ‘there, close to that invisible person’.
- There’s a Sinhala phrase, ‘What use is a lamp to a blind man?’, which means don’t give useless things to people.
- Sinhala is an Indo-Aryan language and is thus related to the languages of North India rather than neighbouring South Indian ones, which belong to the Dravidian language family.
