Singlish to Sinhala — Free, In-Browser, No Signup
Singlish-සිංහල පරිවර්තනය — සරල, නොමිලේ, මාර්ගගතව.
AkuruLiyo converts Singlish to Sinhala one word at a time, in place, as you type. Phonetic, Helakuru-compatible, and free to use without an account.
Try AkuruLiyo →How the conversion works
You write Singlish (Sinhala spelled with English letters, phonetically). The moment a word ends — when you press space, a comma, a period, or any other boundary — that word is replaced with its Sinhala equivalent. The next word does the same. The cursor stays where you left it, so your typing rhythm never breaks.
A few examples to ground the idea:
ayubowan→ආයුබෝවන්mama→මමkohomada→කොහොමදobata stuthi→ඔබට ස්තූති
The rules are compatible with Helakuru's Singlish convention, which is what most Sri Lankan typists already know from their phones. If you can type a sentence in Helakuru, you can type it here without relearning a single mapping.
Try AkuruLiyo for free →Paste a Singlish paragraph and let it process
You don't have to type the Singlish yourself — paste a paragraph from a chat, a draft, or an old email and AkuruLiyo runs the same word-boundary conversion across the whole block. Each word gets replaced; English words you didn't mean as Singlish are kept as English. You then style, edit, and copy the Sinhala result anywhere you need it.
The converter is the engine behind the editor, not a separate tool. That means the same Singlish to Sinhala flow is available when you're writing a long article, jotting a note, or drafting a social-media post. If you're looking for the full writing tool with formatting, head to the Sinhala text editor page. For plain typing without any chrome, the type Sinhala online page is a shorter introduction.
