Direction
Left to right

Sinhala (සිංහල) review centers on this evidence: check Sinhala vowel signs, conjunct forms, inflected endings, names, numbers, and Sinhala–English switches. For underspecified si, CLDR supplies Sinh (Sinhala script) as a likely/default web-locale hint—not an audio attribute or exclusive Sinhala orthography. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include vowel signs, conjunct forms, word boundaries, names, and mixed-language passages. Project decision: which Sinhala spelling and treatment of English technical names applies. Before batch editing si, a reviewer must record which Sinhala spelling and treatment of English technical names applies and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
