The Sinhala script is an abugida writing system used primarily for the Sinhala language, which is spoken in Sri Lanka. It consists of 54 letters, including 18 consonants and 36 vowels. The script is characterized by its rounded shapes and is written from left to right. Developed from the ancient Brahmi script, the Sinhala script has evolved over centuries. It is used not only for everyday communication but also in literature, education, and religious texts. The script plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural heritage of the Sinhala-speaking population.
