Sri Lanka
English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Sinhalese ශ්රී ලංකාව (śrī laṁkāwa), from Sanskrit श्री लङ्का (śrī laṅkā, literally “holy Lanka”).
Pronunciation
[edit]It should be noted that the Sanskrit honorific that the "Sri" comes from (श्री, ISO: Śrī) is pronounced [ɕriː], and while this pronunciation is preserved in Sinhalese, the closest English phoneme that best fits [ɕ] is /ʃ/, resulting in the approximation /ʃɹ/. /sɹ/ in English results from ignoring or dropping the diacritic on ⟨s⟩ in the romanization ⟨śrī⟩. In Sinhalese, [sriː] may occur as an acceptable variant pronunciation only in quick, uneducated speech, because [ɕ] is an uncommon phoneme in Sinhalese and is replaced with [s] in certain dialects.
Both stresses on the first and second syllables of "Lanka" are accepted, but the latter is closer to its native pronunciation.
Proper noun
[edit]Sri Lanka
- An island and country in South Asia, off the coast of India. Official name: Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. Capital: Colombo.
Usage notes
[edit]“Sri Lanka” has been the official name since 1972; prior to that it was Ceylon.
Place names are a source of controversy in Sri Lankan politics, in connection with the Sri Lankan Civil War, and some find “Sri Lanka” to be too Sinhalese. A Tamil name is Eelam, and some Tamil political parties retain “Ceylon” in their name, such as the All Ceylon Tamil Congress and the Ceylon Workers' Congress.
