Talk:Anuradhapura kingdom

1587:

not appropriate to use here Tamil as a common language in this particular time period. According to Cambridge dictionary, the term common is defined as "the same in a lot of places or for a lot of people:", but there is no evidence that there were many Tamils in Anuradhapura Kingdom at that time. Sinhalese monarchs ruled the kingdom for 454 years, whereas all the Tamil rulers combined ruled 144 years, but the ruling time of some of the rulers were limited to a few years to make a drastic change in the society. There was no evidence of mass Tamil migration or a Sinhalese population genocide committed by Tamil rulers in this time period for Tamil to become a common language in Anuradhapura Kingdom. It's only fair to say Tamil as a language used by people in this time period instead of a common language as Sinhalese.

1505:" Many of them came from India. I consider all of them as invaders as per history". None of Sinhalese came from India. according to history the Sinhalese ethnic group was formed in Sri Lanka. It's actually tamils who are invaders. First tamil kings conquered here multiple times, secondly tamil slaves were brought here by British. So tamils are not natives to Sri Lanka at all. Just because you tamils try to change Sinhalese history in Knowledge by twisting facts doesn't mean you can change the truth too. Maybe You should worry about your own history in Tamil nadu in next time instead of flooding Sinhalese historical articles. 1332:, etc, as well as over 4,000 stone inscriptions throughout the country. They give considerable details about our history from 3rd century BC and less reliably back to the 6th century BC. Depends on these details historians have proved or are still proving these facts are either correct or not by searching the relevant archaeological evidences. That is the reason why some chronicles are considered unreliable by the historians. That is the normal and accepted method. Therefore we can not change or modify the fixed history (proved by the historians and archaeologists) as our personal judgments and opinions like you are saying ( 2647:

the lingua franca of the South Asian region at that time. Shortly before the third century BCE, it is possible that Buddhist and Jaina monks, too, arrived in the island in the wake of trade. This would have strengthened the position of Prakrit as the language of the elite. Later, the adoption of Buddhism by the ruler at Anuradhapura and the people under his rule, the organization of a strong Buddhist church and the use of Prakrit as the written language of the elites helped to forge different communities together and to evolve a common language with elements from the local languages.

1365:(3rd century BCE to 5th century CE) is root for many Indian languages including Sinhalese. Likewise, Sinhalese Prakrit was part of Sinhalese language development. It is hard to separate Tamil, Sinhalese or Indian languages from Brahmi or Prakrit. Therefore, it does not mean language of Anuradhapura Kingdom (377 BC) was Sinhalese. But, later it had Tamil and Sinhalese as per historical record. Therefore, it is wrong to highlight Sinhalese only as solo language. I would suggest to add Tamil too, and give a note about language system in 377 BC. -- 224: 278: 257: 2605:"primary sources." From them, they have gleaned countless "historical facts" now to be found in the histories of ancient India and Sri Lanka. I wish to challenge this "common-sense" understanding of history in the Pali Vamsas. The idea that the facts of the past recorded in the Vamsas constitute "history" is a relatively recent idea, forged by George Tumour during the late 1830s. Revised and expanded by philologists such as Wilhelm Geiger, but never dismissed, this idea continues to frame scholarly study of the Vamsas. 545: 21: 387: 362: 613: 595: 288: 2146: 144: 63: 569: 467: 433: 680: 659: 453: 215: 477: 690: 2292:

conquest?The paragraph describes the events that happened after the fall of Anuradhapura.And the funniest thing is the chapter title "The polonnaruwa kingdom".So what's the point of mentioning Tamil as a common language in Anuradhapura era?And some of the references you mentioned above are not relevant to Anuradhapura era at all.Btw,I have decided to seek another editor's assistance on this matter.

1015: 1860:

Tamils in Anuradhapura was no where near the count of sinhalese.Even the book states that.Can you prove otherwise?I suggest to you that you should read more about Ancient Sri Lankan Kingdoms from other websites.The "common"word should be only used if there were large Tamil communities situated in Anuradhapura,par with Sinhalese.

2043://The Tamil merchants brought the coins with them// Is it bias story too? LOL. This is Knowledge, and I do concern on encyclopedia, and not about Sri Lankan politics. I do aware Sinhalese and Tamil criticize each others as bias. As per common man, I see Sinhalese were came from India, and Tamils claim on 2730:

Tamil rulers spoke Tamil,But they ruled for a very brief time compared to sinhalase. They didn't have time to convert the culture of natives. I read the reference you added.It does mention tamil language was present but it was never a common language.There aren't any known tamil literary works or any

Who cares you and me neither? Don't teach me English and I know where to get meaning than Googling. Isn't it unfocusing discussion?

Still,I've found no source that directly states Tamil invaders used Sinhala.But that doesn't prove your point either.If you have access to this book,I suggest you to read it again.It appears that you are taking just a guess that tamil became a common language just because some invader controlled the

Tamil was not a common language in Anuradhapura Kingdom as it's before the establishment of the Jaffna kingdom. Tamil rulers came to sri lanka in this time period as invaders just like how South India was invaded by Parakramabahu 1, but were driven back by Sinhalese monarchs eventually; hence it's
