Question

in srilanka the politics of the government sought to ensure the dominance of which language speaking people

Answer 1

In Sri Lanka the politics of the government sought to ensure dominance of the Sinhala speakers and Buddhist.

Answer 2

Sinhala- speaking majority is the right answer.

The democratically elected Sri Lankan Government in 1956 enacted an act to displace the English language with Sinhala (Sinhala communities' language). And the government did not pay any attention to the Tamil language. A number of measures were adopted by the elected government to establish the supremacy of Sinhala. Accordingly, the Tamils of Sri Lanka realized that the political parties led by Buddhist Sinhala chiefs were susceptible to their culture and language.
