Tamils earlier called Sri Lanka as 'Eelam' - It means Ceylon in English
You better fist learn about linguistic patterns across languages. Check how Portuguese language would pronounce 'Sinhale' and 'Eelam', then you will realize how 'Sinhale' became 'Ceylon'
Please note that Tamils lived here for a long time
Any proofs?? Over the time any society will mixed up with different people from different cultures. That is common for Tamils, Sinhalese, English, Chinese, ect... Ex: Black Africans brought to America as slaves are now engaged in American culture. They are no more Africans they are Americans.
Both SL Tamils and SL Sinhalease are decendent of India
Explain me from where the Indians descended? Where they created by 'Brahma'? Remember, the country you see as India today was created by British rulers. Before that there wasn't a country call India.
It is not unusual to see common cultures in close regions. Ex: In Europe many people follow Jesus, they use spoons and forks to eat, ect...
