    Mishra Sinhala Hodiya

    Where is z? As far as I know, it is not even in the hodiya yet! Glad to know ඏ, ඐ and ඦ are still in the Sinhala hodiya. Though ඏ, ඐ and ඦ are rarely used, it's good to know them, especially when reading some old text that has words with those letters. Another good thing to know is bandi akuru...

    Mishra Sinhala Hodiya

    I copied and pasted them, one at a time from Wikipedia. Another interesting thing about the Hodiya is that in some books, ඥ appears in place of ඦ. Though I think some books do have both ඥ and ඦ.

    Mishra Sinhala Hodiya

    I have a question with regards to the full Mishra Sinhala Hodiya Do any present day Sinhala alphabet books still teach the Mishra Sinhala Hodiya? I know many of the books published after 1948, some of which I have seen myself, have the Mishra Hodiya, but don't go into detail on their usage...

    සවනතට මිහිරි හින්දු මන්ත්‍ර-★Must Hear★

    Pink Panther, It is so wonderful that we can see some of the Hindu mantras, prayers etc in Sinhala script. Have these always been available to some extent or another in Sinhala script or is only recently that Hindu prayers started becoming available in Sinhala script? I have a pdf of a temple...

    This is very good. But actually, Gayatri Mantra is actually like this: ඕං භූර්‍භුවඃ ස්වඃ තත්සවිතූර්‍වරේණ්‍යම් භ‍ෙර්‍ගා් දේවස්‍ය ධීමහි ධියෝ යෝ නඃ ප්‍රචෝදයාත්

    Shenu, I did some research and realized why you said there is no need of "za" in our Sinhala alphabet. This is because no words with "za" came into Sinhala langyage, if at all. Any that did come into Sinhala are being written with the letter ස. Here is the full Sinhala alphabet without any...

    Tamil needs some extra letters for ga, da, dha, ba, kha, gha etc far more than I and some others believe Sinhala needs a letter for "za".
