languages සිංහල

  •  The clear distinction between spoken and written Sinhala that is found in many languages of South Asia is particularly noticeable in Sinhala.


There are a variety of languages in the world. We cannot comprehend anyone's speech in a language that we do not know. This demonstrates that it is distinct from our bus. Languages are related by blood or inheritance. Several of them lack such a connection.

Historically, English is connected to German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Frisian, among others. Tamil and English lack a close relationship. Tamil is traditionally related to Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, which are other Dravidian languages.

A group of people residing in a country is required for the survival or continuation of the language.

This organization is known as "Speaker Society." A linguistic community is comprised of a group of people who employ a set of shared phonetic symbols in a consistent and systematic manner. This group is distinct from another human group that demonstrates significant linguistic variation (Gumpetz, 1968: 225). Hence, the English-speaking community is distinct from the Sinhala-speaking community. Moreover, Tamil-speaking populations differ from Chinese- and Russian-speaking communities. A language is regarded as extinct if there is no linguistic community in which it is spoken. Those languages are known as "extinct languages." There is written literature in languages such as Sanskrit, Pali, and Latin, yet no community speaks these languages. A linguistic society's language is regarded to be alive.

A person   is able to learn one or more languages from subordinates. Here, young toddlers spontaneously acquire the language. They require no particular linguistic instruction. Parents assist their children in learning the language. Hence, the youngster has the opportunity to learn his parents' language as his native tongue. By the age of five or six, all children appear to have a solid grasp of their mother tongue.



How did the Sinhala language begin? How was the Sinhala language at that time? How would it have evolved?

The beginning of the Sinhala language goes back to the beginning of the Sinhalese. The Sinhala language is widely accepted as an Aryan language that came from northern India around the fifth century BC.

  Another opinion is that the Sinhala language is descended from a language that existed in an area that is related to the Sanskrit language in northern India.


To this day, no definite conclusion has been reached as to what this area is.

  From the beginning of the twentieth century, foreign scholars have also focused on the origin of the Sinhala language. Evidence is found that local and foreign scholars have been investigating the origin of the Sinhala language since as far back as the fourth century AD. Professor Senarath Paranavithana Lakdiwa has presented that the Sinhala language is an Indo-Aryan language according to the acceptance of those scholars through the inscriptions.

  Time moves forward, and people change We grow apart, our lives rearrange Love, it teaches us how to endure Through trials and pain, we learn to mature Loneliness can be a heavy burden to bear It can feel like no one's there to care But in the midst of our despair and woe We can find solace in love's warm glow Love is the only way to abandon loneliness It fills our hearts with warmth and tenderness It gives us strength to face another day And lightens the burden we carry along the way In the embrace of a loving heart We find a home, a place to start To rediscover the joy of being alive To open our hearts and truly thrive For love is the only way to leave loneliness behind To find happiness and peace of mind To be with someone who truly understands And to walk together, hand in hand So let us not be afraid to love and to be loved To embrace the warmth that comes from above For love is the only way to abandon loneliness And to find the beauty in life's vast wilderness.

Are the temples at Bagan originally Hindu but converted to Buddhism?

  Some individuals and Hindu extremist groups in India have argued that some of the temples in Bagan were originally constructed as Hindu temples rather than Buddhist temples. However, the vast preponderance of historical and archaeological evidence does not support these claims. HOW? The following i constitute the principal evidence supporting the Buddhist affiliation of Bagan's temples: The earliest historical records of Bagan, which extend back to the 11th century, indicate that the region was ruled by the Bagan Dynasty, which was known for its staunch support of Buddhism. The majority of inscriptions discovered in the region contain references to Buddhist beliefs and practises. Bagan's temples are distinguished by their distinctive architectural style, which consists of massive brick structures with multiple tiers and terraces. This style is typical of the Buddhist temple architecture prevalent throughout Southeast Asia. The temples of Bagan continue to serve as places of...

Facts: Hinduism allows a woman to marry ONCE in her lifetime in both divorcee and widow cases. Traditional Hinduism DOES NOT accept atheism, agnosticism or skepticism. Hindu scriptures such as Gita and Skanda Purana state that ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed scriptures and those who are atheists (nastika) fall into the terrible hell (naraka). According to Kurma Purana Part II ch 26 shloka 67, a person who knows Dharma should not offer even water to an atheist or a heretic or to a sceptic or to a person who does not know the Vedas.
