Type in Sinhala

Simply type Sinhala words phonetically using English letters as you would pronounce them. Our online tool automatically converts your English input into Sinhala script. For example, type "ayubowan" and get "ආයුබෝවන්".

The conversion happens when you press the spacebar. If the suggested Sinhala word isn't correct, click on it to see alternative transliterations from the dropdown menu.

Note: Type naturally as you speak Sinhala words — no need to memorize complex keyboard layouts or install fonts.

These serve different purposes for Sinhala users:

Sinhala Translation converts the meaning from one language to another. Translating "Good morning" gives you the equivalent Sinhala greeting "සුභ උදෑසනක්" (subha udaasanak) with the same meaning.

Sinhala Transliteration converts the script while keeping the same sounds. Type "sinhala" and get "සිංහල" — same pronunciation, Sinhala script.
