Sinhala on the web
Do you want to learn Sinhala or get closer to the culture? You could start with Let's speak Sinhala, to learn spoken Sinhala. The lessons consist of grammar structures, functional language and vocabulary introduced in a clear context through a dialogue. The site uses sound files so you can hear the pronunciation of words. Omniglot also has a page describing the origin and features of the Sinhala alphabet.
The Sinhala language page is a directory of websites related to Sinhala language and culture. If you need free fonts and a Sinhala word processor, we suggest Sinhala and Tamil fonts.
For online Sinhalese newspapers and media, you can browse the Daily Divaina, the Sinhala Mag and BBC Sinhala, the latest BBC World News in Sinhala.
