You can find thousands of Sinhala Language based TrueType, OpenType and BoldType Fonts here at Sinhala Fonts. The rich diversity in the Language has given rise to diversity in the calligraphic designs and fonts as well. The closest relatives are the Vedda language (an endangered, indigenous creole still spoken by a minority of Sri Lankans, mixing Sinhala with an isolate of unknown origin and from which Old Sinhala borrowed various aspects into its main Indo-Aryan substrate), and the Maldivian language. It has two main varieties, written and spoken, and is a conspicuous example of the linguistic phenomenon known as diglossia. Our site is dedicated to providing you with high-quality typefaces that beautifully capture the essence of these languages. Sinhala Culture played a major role in the development of Theravada Buddhist literature.
