Sinhala Vowel Rules For Singlish Typing
Learn the practical vowel patterns (a, aa, i, ii, u, uu, e, ee, o, oo) used in Sinhala transliteration.
Short vs Long Vowels
Use doubled vowels to force long sounds: aa, ii, uu, ee, oo.
Example pattern: ka -> ක, kaa -> කා, ki -> කි, kii -> කී.
Common Pitfall
If output looks too short, try doubling the vowel first. Most mistakes in Sinhala transliteration come from short/long vowel mismatch.
Practical Workflow
Type naturally first, then correct the 1-2 words with wrong vowel lengths using suggestion chips.
