The Sinhala-English Bilingual Thesaurus by K. G. Kulasena is a groundbreaking publication in Sri Lanka, being the first of its kind. Authored with meticulous care, it includes over 20,000 Sinhala words with more than 81,000 synonyms and translations for over 23,000 English words. Professor Bernard Dissanayake, in 2004, praised it as a monumental contribution to the progress of the Sinhala language. The Thesaurus is a comprehensive and valuable resource for scholars, teachers, students, and writers, showcasing the richness of the Sinhala language and bridging the gap between Sinhala and English. Professor Dissanayake emphasized its significance as a treasure for future generations.
