<h4>Sinhala</h4>
<p>
Sinhala (<span class="autonym">සිංහල</span>) is an Indic abugida, written
left-to-right. Used since c. 300 CE in Sri Lanka for the Sinhala language (15
million speakers), for Pali and Sanskrit. The “pure” letter set has 20
consonant and 20 vowel letters, and is used for the sounds of the spoken
Sinhala. The “mixed” letter set (18 more consonant letters) is used for
correct spelling, which often reflect archaic pronunciations, and for
non-Sinhala words and languages. Needs software support for complex text
layout (shaping). Read more on
