Russian-Sinhala phrasebook for tourists

Phrases that will surely come in handy when traveling to Sri Lanka.

English is not understood in all of Sri Lanka, despite its colonial past.

The most common language here is Sinhala. So, a Sinhala phrasebook with pronunciation will help you navigate the country better and avoid unpleasant situations. It's better to take an English-Sinhala phrasebook with you in advance; you won't find it on-site for sure. Also, it's recommended to print the Sinhala phrasebook so you don't depend on the battery of electronic devices.

Useful phrases in Sinhala:
