Sithija : Sinhala Keyboard

Sithija: Sinhala Mobile Keyboard


Fully featured Sinhala keyboard for Apple mobile devices with iOS version 15.0 or higher. 
This is a lightweight keyboard-only version of our main Sinhala app Sinhala: Keyboard & Notebook. This app will install the complete Sinhala keyboard without other unrelated features and this keyboard or application will not ask or collect any kind of personal or other data from its users.

This app will bring you the two best Sinhala typing layouts available in the AppStore.


> Smart Wijesekara layout
Our Wijesekara layout is an enhanced & highly optimized version of the traditional Wijesekara layout. We have focused on designing a `user-friendly` and `easy to use` Wijesekara layout to maximize & simplify your Sinhala typing experience with much fewer typing errors.
Check the `Typing tips` section of the application for more details.


> Smart Singlish layout
Singlish is a transliteration layout for users who like to type Sinhala with equivalent English letter sounds. This is the most popular layout on our keyboard with a superior Sinhala typing experience. This layout is much easier and faster to use and anyone can type without any prior experience. With out complete and smart Unicode text building engine users can type Sinhala letters faster and with fewer errors.
Check the `Typing tips` section of the application for more details.

> Other layouts
A complete & fully-featured English layout will be available so you dont have to switch to the system keyboard to type in English.
