If you still use "Sinhalese" as the language name in your localization project, pls revert it to "Sinhala".


"Sinhala" is the preferred word for the language as per the Sri Lankan constitution and ISO 639:

18. 3[(1)] The Official Language of Sri Lanka shall be Sinhala.

sin si Sinhala; Sinhalese


* Sinhala language
* Sinhala script
* Sinhalese people
