How to type Sinhala in Singlish
Just type the way the words sound. Sinhala consonants already include an "a" sound, and vowels attach automatically. Here's a quick reference:
Vowels
a අ · aa ආ · ae ඇ · i ඉ · ii ඊ · u උ · uu ඌ · e එ · ee ඒ · o ඔ · oo ඕ
Common consonants
k ක · g ග · ch ච · j ජ · t ට · th ත · d ද · n න · p ප · b බ · m ම · y ය · r ර · l ල · v/w ව · s ස · h හ
Special
T ඨ · D ඩ · N ණ · L ළ · sh ශ · Sh ෂ · f ෆ
Vowel sounds (e vs ae)
ne නෙ · nae නැ · naae නෑ — 'e' is the bed-sound (එ), 'ae' is the cat-sound (ඇ)
Examples
amma අම්මා · oyaa ඔයා · kohomada කොහොමද · mama මම
Tip: double a vowel for the long sound (e.g. aa → ආ, oo → ඕ). Common words and greetings are recognised automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Singlish to Sinhala converter?+
Singlish is the practice of writing Sinhala using English (Latin) letters — for example, typing 'amma' for අම්මා. A Singlish to Sinhala converter instantly turns that romanized text into proper Sinhala Unicode that you can copy and paste into Facebook, WhatsApp, documents, and websites.
Is this Sinhala Unicode converter free?+
Yes, completely free. There's nothing to download or install — it runs in your browser and converts as you type, on both mobile and desktop.
How do I type Sinhala letters in Singlish?+
Type phonetically: vowels a, aa, ae, i, ii, u, uu, e, ee, o, oo; consonants like k, g, m, p, b, s, h. Use 'th' for ත and 't' for ට, 'd' for ද and 'D' for ඩ. For example, 'mama gedara yanawa' becomes මම ගෙදර යනවා.
Is the converted text real Sinhala Unicode?+
