Sinhala script

Have you ever seen the letters that people use to write words in different languages like English or Spanish? Well, in Sri Lanka (which is a country in Asia), they have their own letters too! These letters are called the Sinhala script.

The Sinhala script is made up of different shapes and lines that represent different sounds in the Sinhala language. These letters are used to write out words, just like how we use letters in the English language to write out words.

In the Sinhala script, there are 56 basic letters. These letters are called "vowels" and "consonants." Vowels are the letters that make sounds all on their own, like the letter "A." Consonants are letters that are usually written next to a vowel to complete a sound, like the letters "K" and "R" in the word "karate."

To write words in the Sinhala language, people use a combination of these vowels and consonants. Sometimes, the letters will even have different shapes depending on where they are located in the word!

Overall, the Sinhala script is a very important part of the Sinhala language and culture in Sri Lanka. It helps people communicate with each other and write down important information.
