![]() The Sinhala script is a Brahmi derivative that was thought to have been imported from Northern India around the 3rd century BCE. The core set of letters forms the Śuddha Siṃhala alphabet (Pure Sinhala, ශුද්ධ සිංහල), which is a subset of the Miśra Siṃhala alphabet (Mixed Sinhala, මිශ්ර සිංහල). Sinhala letters are classified into two sets. The Sinhala script is an abugida written from left to right and is also related to the Grantha script. The Sinhalese Akṣara Mālāva, one of the Brahmic scripts, is a descendant of the Ancient Indian Brahmi script. The Sinhala script (Sinhala: සිංහල අක්ෂර මාලාව, romanized: Siṁhala Akṣara Mālāva), also known as the Sinhalese script, is a writing system used by the Sinhalese people and most Sri Lankans in Sri Lanka and elsewhere to write the Sinhala language, as well as the liturgical languages Pali and Sanskrit.
