资 源 简 介
Romanized Sinhala is a convenient alphabet to write Pali so that it can be typed, copied or pasted inside any application without degradation that happens to current romanized Pali. The alphabet is based on Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1 character set) -- the Unicode block that western European languages use.
Communicating in Sinhala over the Internet is difficult for the
following reasons:
Unicode requires that you have Unicode font.
The glyphs should be correctly positioned on the Unicode table (notice the inaccuracies on Google)
You should learn a new keyboard
Most importantly, the person at the other end should have everything above.
In addition:
One cannot read Unicode on a public computer outside Sri Lanka
A secondary romanized alphabet for Sinhala is now available. It is NOT
anglicized Sinhala which carries a tinge of elitist snobbery with it
(48 years after independence!).
Icelandic inspired this alphabet.
