There are 13% of the familiar natives of Sri Lanka who are also known as Sri Lankan Tamils. Sri Lanka is an island country, so its population is also diverse. There are about 18% of Tamils in Sri Lanka, and the group of Tamils is also categorised into two sub-groups. At least 13% of the Tamils are Sri Lankan Tamils or natives of Sri Lanka, whereas 5% of the Tamils are those whose forefathers migrated from India to Sri Lanka for plantation work under British rule.
