A small-format Sinhala–English dictionary compiled by Sirisena Maitipe and produced by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. Sinhala headwords are given with their English equivalents, in a volume made deliberately compact rather than desk-bound.
The size is the point. It has been put together to be carried easily — into a classroom, a bag, a pocket — which is why the publisher recommends it for schoolchildren in particular. Pupils working between Sinhala and English, and anyone who wants a quick-reference Sinhala–English word list to hand rather than on a shelf, are the readers it is aimed at.
M. D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publishing house with a substantial list of school and reference titles in Sinhala and English, and this dictionary sits within that part of its catalogue.
