Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

If you check most of the government documents, the passports, ID, name boards etc, all 3 languages are represented. What the hell are you talking about? Are you blind or cant read?

Implementing Tamil language provisions

On paper at least, Tamil is an official language of this country. However, how far has the State progressed in translating this important piece of legislation into reality ?

This is the poser which ought to trouble the minds of those fervently supporting a policy of national integration. In other words, those supporting a just peace.

We are glad that no less a body than the Organisation of Professional Associations has taken up this matter with the Minister of Constitutional Affairs and National Integration.

This campaign on making the Official Language Act a concrete reality, we hope, would be taken up by other concerned persons and groups as ethnic harmony is inconceivable without the earnest implementation of the official language provisions of the constitution.
