It is the first language of more than 75% of the population. Around 20%, mostly in the north, speak the second of Sri Lanka’s official languages – Tamil – and a number of other languages, creoles and dialects are spoken in various parts of the country. English is spoken by approximately 10% of the population. An Indo-Aryan language, Sinhala developed in isolation from other members of its language family – as a result, and because of influences from Tamil, it was even classified as a Dravidian language. Other members of the Indo-Aryan family include Bengali, Hindi and Punjabi. Its closest relative is Divehi, spoken in the Maldive Islands. Modern Sinhala is a language that has been greatly affected by travel and trade over the centuries, and loan words can be found from a number of languages, including Dutch, Portuguese, English and Malay. According to Sinhalese tradition, the 6th century introduction of the language to the island is attributed to a sequence of events commencing with a journey by Prince Vijaya from the kingdom of Sinhapura (Bengal). Banished to sea by the king, Vijaya and his followers landed on an island, defeated its evil ‘demon inhabitants’, then settled down to create a dynasty. Thus Sri Lanka was

Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

They are exclusively distributed in undisturbed habitats, and some have high ornamental value. The species are morphologically diverse, but face a problem of taxonomic delineation, which is further complicated by the presence of putative hybrids.
