Most institutions dont have a thought out lang policy. Some adhere to national policy in formal situ (eg official namebds). Informal lang policies usually show majoritarian thought like in tweet above or these #SinhalaOnly forms

Looking forward to using this corpus, preferably with students, over the next couple of years. Thanks @yudhanjaya and @NisansaDdS

Morning, folks. @LIRNEasia's Facebook Sinhala corpua is finally up, written about, and ready for use. Two corpora: one containing ~28 million words, the other ~5 million. Github link: https://t.co/fy2gA68IIp

Interesting form! Great illustration of how policy can be implemented fast when the govt wants. Meanwhile, the implementation of a trilingual policy තාම මග

With Sinhala, Chinese is the national language in post Covid19 #SriLanka, not Tamil. #lka #COVID19SL #Languages
Thread - Why #Sinhala doesn’t have the typical passive construction that we learn about for English

I did the ‘darling’ poll bec I wondered if it’s used less now, if young peeps (< 30ish say) don’t use, function etc. turns out it’s def reducing, still used across age groups, and (unevenly) across gender. A variation study on endearments anyone? #LanguageInSL #Sociolinguistics
If you’re a Sri Lankan, do u use ‘darling’ as an endearment?
Good news and not at all boring - quite exciting - for linguists working on sinhala
#LanguageInSL #Corpus
So, good news (in a very boring way): I just completed a project I've been insisting on doing since 2018. It's one of those things nobody else actually cares about: I've been compiling a corpus of millions of words of Sinhala, stretching from 2010 to 2020.
