The Sidat Sangarawa is the old grammar of the Sinhala language, and it has long held the respect of Sri Lankan scholars. Grammar is what allows a language to be handled correctly, and for Sinhala — itself an old language — this is the text that sets out those rules. It remains a work treated as essential in the study of Sinhala grammar.
This edition is prepared by Puwasathi Alagiyawanna and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text and no parallel translation, so it is intended for readers who can read Sinhala script and follow grammatical description in the language. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should keep that in mind.
It will suit students working through Sinhala grammar formally, teachers of the language, and anyone with an interest in classical Sinhala letters who wants the grammatical tradition in its own words rather than at second hand.
