Sinhala Is Throwing Us for a Loop
With its fluid, circular characters, written Sinhala (or Sinhalese) must be one of the world's most lovely scripts. A page full of it almost looks like absent-minded doodling, with its loops, spirals and squiggles. I've been fascinated by it since we arrived, and bought a book called Let's Learn Sinhala, Volume 1. Five days later, I can confidently write important words like head, crooked, bones, eye and bait. That's a good start towards a strange, sinister sentence.
