How do I type Sinhala using an English keyboard?
Use the MyFonts.lk Singlish-to-Sinhala converter above. Type phonetic English letters and it produces Sinhala Unicode plus a supported legacy output. The SinKey installer is available from the SinKey page; a paid license is required to activate it.
What is the difference between Sinhala Unicode and Legacy?
Sinhala Unicode is the modern international standard (SLS 1134) used on all modern devices, websites, and applications. Sinhala Legacy (also called FM encoding) is an older format used by some legacy Sinhala fonts like FM Abhaya and Bhashitha. MyFonts.lk supports both — the converter outputs both formats simultaneously.
Are the Sinhala fonts free to download?
MyFonts.lk provides downloadable Sinhala fonts including Abhaya Libre, Noto Sans Sinhala, Gemunu Libre, Yaldevi, Kaputa, and Maname. Usage rights vary by font, so check the font's license or rights-holder terms before commercial use, redistribution, or embedding.
What is SinKey and how do I install it?
SinKey is a Windows Sinhala typing application for system-wide Unicode and legacy input. Download the installer and review paid license options on the
SinKey page.
Can I use these fonts on Mac, Linux, and mobile?
Absolutely. All Sinhala fonts on MyFonts.lk are TrueType (.ttf) files that work on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Just download the font file and install it on your device. SinKey is Windows-only, but the fonts work everywhere.
