Here are some facts about the Sinhala language.
01. Sinhala Script has a big difference from the spoken language
The Sinhala script, used for writing the Sinhala language, has notable differences from the spoken language. The Sinhala script is an abugida, which means that each consonant has an inherent vowel sound, and additional vowel sounds can be indicated by diacritic marks. This is in contrast to the spoken language where vowels are pronounced more distinctly.
Additionally, the Sinhala script has historical and cultural significance, and its characters have evolved over time. The script has its own unique characters and a distinct appearance, making it visually different from the spoken language.
It's not uncommon for written scripts to differ from spoken language, as writing systems often have their own conventions and may not capture every nuance of pronunciation. This is true for many languages around the world, where the written form may represent a more formal or standardized version of the language.
