Sinhala Inscriptions are used as one of the major sources of getting information about ancient Sri Lanka. Revealing the Information from these inscriptions becomes a huge challenge for archeologists. This research paper focused on Sinhala character recognition in ancient Sri Lankan inscription. Our intention is to ease this process by developing a web based application that enable recognition of inscription characters through scanned images and store them in an inscription database.

Abstract:
Nowadays archaeology experts put huge effort into extracting meaningful information manually from inscriptions. They take at least one month to identify a character. Characters have evolved into different shapes over the centuries. Archeology experts analyze all these shapes one by one to recognize a character. Reading inscriptions directly using manual procedure would be time-consuming and inefficient due to lack of inconsistency. Therefore, it is required to develop a modern technological solution to recognize ancient Sinhala inscription characters. With the purpose of that, this research ma

Abstract:
Identifying the period of epigraphical scripts is crucial for archaeologists and others to determine the age of inscriptions. Since different sets and shapes of letters were used in different eras, identifying the period of an epigraphical script also aids in recognizing these scripts. An ideal period prediction system should detect the era of an epigraphical script in real time with high accuracy. The objective of this study is to develop an automated system to predict the period of Sri Lankan Sinhala epigraphical scripts. In the first stage, a dataset of Sinhala epigraphical letter images wa

Abstract:
The biographies and historical identities of the Tamils are given prominence in the form of inscriptions, manuscripts and pottery. There are many inscriptions and manuscripts in Batticaloa and Tamil Nadu in Sri Lanka. Thus, the Dathan inscription is one of the major inscriptions referring to the Batticaloa Prehistory and the Batticaloa Manmiyam. This inscription identifies Dathan who came to Batticaloa during the reign of Ethirmannasingan, the Kalinga king who ruled Batticaloa. Dathan, who came from Kongu Naadu in India and belonged to the Vaishnava religion, came here to teach the Pandavas ab

Abstract:
It is important to look into the factors that have influenced the change of the Sinhala script through archeological and historical research. In the past, the Sinhala alphabet was composed of letters that had the shape of Asoka Brahmi script and some independently generated letters. The earliest Brahmi alphabet in Sri Lanka has evolved gradually up to now. Various factors were influenced when the Brahmi script transformed into the Sinhala alphabet. Among them, technological, political, environmental, socio-cultural, economic, and legal factors are the foremost. At present, Sri Lanka has also e

Abstract:
AbstractBuddhist preaching is one of the most neglected areas in modern scholarship. In Buddhist societies, though varieties of preaching rituals are found, existing scholarly literature contains only scattered and often inadequate or misleading references to Buddhist preaching. Since both historians of religions and Buddhologists have tended to ignore the role of Buddhist preachers and preaching in Theravāda Buddhism, this paper stresses the importance of paying attention to ‘preaching’ in developing a holistic understanding of Sinhala Buddhism.Focusing on the term ‘bana,’ this paper examines

Abstract:
Abstract As probably the longest separated and most isolated of the South Asian Indo-Aryan languages, Sinhala is of particular interest for the study of the South Asian linguistic area. The earliest Sinhala inscriptions of the late third century B.c. already show clear differences from the mainland Indo-Aryan languages, making it clear that the language had existed on the island for some time before that. Very little is known concerning contact with any non-Indo-Aryan and non-Dravidian languages that might have existed on the island earlier, but there has been steady contact with Dravidian lan

Abstract:
Abstract Sinhala (Sinhalese), the majority language of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) has a number of features that make it especially interesting to the scholar of South Asian languages and the South Asian linguistic area. It is the southernmost Indo-Aryan language (along with the closely related Divehi of the Maldive islands). For over two millennia it has been isolated from its sister languages of the north by both its island location and the intervening Dravidian languages of South India, with which it has been in contact, often close, throughout that time.
