Detailed Solution

Sinhala is the official language of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka became independent in 1948 and, in 1956, declared Sinhala as the only official language, leading to social conflict in the nation. Sri Lanka is an Island nation situated a few kilometres from the southern coast of India. The Population of Sri Lanka is a mix of various social groups, mainly the Sinhala speakers, primarily Buddhist followers and Tamil speakers, who are either the Indian Tamils who moved during the British period or the Native Sri Lankan Tamils. So overall, Sri Lanka consists of Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Buddhist(majority). The Buddhist Followers are majorly Sinhala Speakers and the Hindus and Muslims, including some Christians, are Tamil Speakers.
