This is a simple and easy to use Sinhala text editor. This was written By Mr A.D.R Sasanka. He was a lecturer at University of Moratuwa when I was in Second year.
Singlish uses "sinhala INetFont" developed by Dr. S.T.N. Nandasara of Institute of Computer Technology, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
What is special about Singlish is that, you type the way you normally pronounce it. For example you only need to type as "mama gedhara yanawaa".

There is a small bug when this tool is used under winnt/2k. The letter "chi" is not printed properly. As a work around I use "chii" in place for "chi". Normally nobody notice the difference.
