People Sri Lanka: Languages, Literature, Books and Book Reviews "Words have evolved with time, passing through various phases before assuming their present form. Sinhala is no exception. That the Sinhala language is an Aryan one and is related to other Indo-Aryan speeches such as Hindi and Bengali is generally well known. Less known, however, is the fact that Sinhala is distantly related to other major languages such as German, French, English, Russian, Persian and Lithuanian. The fact is that Sinhala is not only a member of the Aryan group of languages, but also of a larger linguistic group, the Indo-European family, which includes all the major languages of Europe, Iran and Southern Asia. The parent indo-European speech from which all these languages derive, was evidently spoken somewhere in Europe, probably Southern Russia, over 5000 years ago. " Sinhala Language The origin of Sinhala (The origin of the Sinhala language has been the subject of much controversy, and has lately provoked much debate. The Hela Havula movement's claim that Sinhala developed independently on Sri Lankan soil, sans any foreign influences, is not tenable considering the available philological evidence.)

He had three brothers older than himself; but when they all died before shedding their first teeth, his father devoted him to the service of the Buddhist society, and had him entered as a Sramanera, still keeping him at home in the family. The little fellow fell dangerously ill, and the father sent him to the monastery, where he soon got well and refused to return to his parents.

This is why I chose monkhood.? The uncle approved of his words and gave over urging him. When his mother also died, it appeared how great had been the affection for her of his fine nature; but after her burial he returned to the monastery.

Scholar Edward Said brought attention to the phenomenon of 'Orientalism' with his groundbreaking study of the subject in the 1970s. Following in the wake of Said's research, Mary Campbell observes that pre-modern descriptions of Asia's marvels focus upon all that was not characteristic of Europe, but what she believes was characteristic of European fantasies of the East. Eventually, as Asia became an important site of merchant activity, the need arose for more serious geographical and cultural information. Marco Polo's detailed descriptions of his experiences are among the best known of these early attempts to introduce the East to the West. In our collection, Marco Polo's account may be found in Giovanni Battista Ramusio's Secondo volume delle navigationi et viaggi , a sixteenth-century collection of famous voyages.

The PRC administers and governs the majority of China (mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau), while the ROC administers the island groups of Taiwan, the Pescadores, Kinmen, and Matsu, as well as the Pratas and Taiping. China has one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and one of the world's longest continuously used written language systems. The successive states and cultures of China date back more than six millennia. For centuries, China was the world's most advanced civilization, and the cultural center of East Asia, with an impact lasting to the present day. China is also home to many of the great technical inventions in world history, including the four great inventions of ancient China: paper, compass, gunpowder, and printing.
