Sinhala Keyboard
---------------

*** Enhanced Wijesekara layout ***

The Wijesekara layout in Sinhala keyboard is an enhanced & highly optimized version of the traditional Wijesekara layout. We have focused on designing a `user-friendly` and `easier to use` Wijesekara layout and our Wijesekara layout will maximize & simplify your Sinhala typing experience with much fewer typing errors.
‣ type `pilla` twice to get the longer `pilla` (no need to use the shift button to move to shifted layout)
‣ long press for `Murdhaja` letter
‣ tap & hold the space bar to move the cursor
‣ auto-remove partial vowels or letters

*** Enhanced Singlish layout ***

Singlish is a transliteration layout for people who like to type Sinhala with equivalent English letter sounds. This is the most popular layout on our keyboard with a superior Sinhala typing experience. This layout is much easier and faster to use and anyone can type without any prior experience.
We have optimized and enhanced the performance of this layout with a completely re-designed Unicode rendering and powerful text building engine.
‣ ability to type normal socially accepted phonetic sounds without memorizing new & complicated key combinations.
‣ phonetic letter suggestion for faster typing [eg. D will suggest all the letters with sounds like D, DH, etc - this is separate from word suggestions]
‣ letter + H for `Murdhaja` letters [eg. T & TH, P & PH etc]
‣ examples
- ng, nd, etc for ganga, sandha
- gna, kna, etc gnaanhaya, sinkno
- bh, th, nh, etc thuupaaraamaya, bhaarathaya
- quick quiz: can you read this `gnaanapaala`, that is how you write it on this keyboard
