What is the difference between vowels and vowel signs?
Vowels (ස්වර) like අ, ආ, ඉ are independent letters used at the start of a syllable. Vowel signs like ා, ි, ු are diacritics added after a consonant to change its vowel sound. Use the Vowel Signs tab after typing a consonant to modify its vowel.

Hal kirima (්) is a special mark in Sinhala that suppresses the inherent vowel of a consonant. It is used to form consonant clusters and is found in the Vowel Signs tab.
Does this work on iPhone and iPad?
Yes. The Sinhala typing tool is fully responsive and works on all iOS devices using Safari or any other browser. No app download is required.
Can I type directly in the text box?
