The Colloquial Sinhalese course features the essential grammar of Sinhalese or Sinhala, the official language of Sri Lanka. The course
introduces the colloquial variety of spoken Sinhalese, which is used by all social and educational levels in conversation. It represents primarily a variety spoken by educated speakers of the south-western coastal regions, but dialect differences are sufficiently small for it to be understood anywhere, and students who learn it can quickly adjust to the spwach of the other areas. The text is in two parts. The first includes 24 lessons, with conversations, grammars, exercises and review exercises.
