$\boxed{\displaystyle \rm{moreInformation}}$

The Sinhalese constitute about 75% of the Sri Lankan population. Sinhalese and Tamil do not share a common root.

Most Tamils living in the south of the country speak Sinhala, but very few Sinhalese speak Tamil.

Few of the increasing number of Sinhalese tourists visiting the north are able to converse easily with their fellow Sri Lankans in the north.

Answer 2

Answer:

Several languages are spoken in Sri Lanka within the Indo-Aryan, Dravidian and Austronesian families. Sri Lanka accords de facto official status to Sinhala and Tamil, and English as a link language. The languages spoken on the island nation are deeply influenced by the various languages in India, Europe and Southeast Asia. Arab settlers and the colonial powers of Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain have also influenced the development of modern languages in Sri Lanka.
