The Digital Voice of Sri Lanka

Sinhala is the native language of the majority of Sri Lankans. While English is used in corporate sectors, the domestic market for news, entertainment, and e-commerce is overwhelmingly Sinhala-first. The Sri Lankan web is a vibrant space, heavily influenced by the rise of local marketplaces and a burgeoning ed-tech sector.

Our database uses Sinhala script detection to identify authentic content across .lk, .com.lk, and international domains. We help you separate the signal from the noise in a market where multilingualism is common, ensuring you capture the authentic voice of the Sri Lankan consumer.
