Conjuncts and special signs

kra → ක්‍ර, kya → ක්‍ය; k_ → ක් (al-lakuna); k^ka → ක්‍ක (joined conjunct); r^ka → ර්‍ක (repaya); ~m → ං; :h → ඃ. The ^ marker is explicit to avoid guessing.

Common alternatives: v/w → ව; sh → ශ, Sh → ෂ; th → ත, t → ට; dh → ධ, d → ද; N → ණ, L → ළ. Some frequent spellings such as amma, yanawa and lanka use documented word-level conventions.

How to use

  1. Write Sinhala words phonetically in Roman letters; separate words normally.
  2. For English fragments, select Mixed mode and surround them with [[double square brackets]].
  3. Proofread the result, then copy it or download the Unicode text file.

This deterministic phonetic system does not understand context or grammar. Names, uncommon Sanskrit conjuncts, dialects and ambiguous spellings may need manual correction. Unicode fonts and rendering vary by device.

Frequently asked questions

Does this translate English into Sinhala?

No. It transliterates Romanized Sinhala sounds; it does not translate English meanings.

Can I type with a phone keyboard?

Yes. Use the ordinary English keyboard on mobile or desktop.

Why are some spellings different?

Romanized Sinhala has multiple conventions. Long vowels, dental/retroflex consonants and ambiguous words need careful spelling or proofreading.

Can I keep English in a sentence?

Choose Mixed mode and type [[English text]]. No automatic language detection is claimed.
