If there is no need of a letter for Z in the Sinhala alphabet, then why do we need ෆ then? As of now we use ස for both S and Z. So if there is no need to have a sperate letter for Z in the Sinhala alphabet, why not scrap the letter ෆ and go back to using ප for both P and F? Also back in the day, up until the 1980s when Professor J. B. Dissanayaka introduced the letter ෆ, people who wanted to properly represent the F sound in Sinhala would use the imitation letter, fප for F. Something for you to think about. </blockquote>
