Its population is about 2 crore.

Ethnic composition :

The major social groups are the Sinhala-speakers (74 percent) and Tamil speakers (18 percent).                              ‘

Tamil speakers are further divided into two groups – Sri Lankan Tamils and Indian Tamils.

Sri Lankan Tamils are the natives of Sri Lanka. The Indian Tamils’ forefathers migrated from India as plantation workers during the colonial period.

Most of the Sinhala-speaking people are Buddhist, while most of the Tamils are Hindus or Muslims.
