ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF SINHALA LANGUAGE

This is a book of an unusual kind. It is essentially a book of knowledge. In another sense, there are three books in one: a grammar, a dictionary and an encyclopaedia, all pertaining to Sinhala, the island language of the Sinhalese. Consisting of 25 essays, arranged thematically and divided into encyclopaedic entries of equal length, it is also a chronicle that narrates the saga of the Sinhalese.
