A Tamil language and grammar book compiled for teaching and for self-study, written for Sinhala speakers. Rohini Alahakoon's text covers the language together with its grammar, and it includes two thousand verbs.
The book is written in Sinhala and Tamil. There is no English in it, so a reader who does not read Sinhala script will not be able to work through the explanations, and a reader who does not read Tamil script will not be able to read the Tamil material. It is intended for the Sinhala-reading learner approaching Tamil, whether in a classroom or alone.
It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Colombo publishing house whose list includes school and language titles in Sinhala, Tamil and English. Books of this kind circulate mainly within Sri Lanka, where Sinhala and Tamil are both official languages and where learning the other language is a practical matter for work, study and public service. For buyers abroad — Sri Lankan families keeping the languages alive at home, or students of South Asian languages who already read Sinhala — it offers a bilingual route into Tamil grammar that is hard to find outside the island.
