But it's also quite confusing for us uneducated foreigners. Is there no chance that we could all agree on a compromise one day? Something in a totally neutral language, maybe?

Or if that is too difficult; maybe...can anyone agree the world language: English? Most computers simple don't have a Tamil or Sinhala keyboard these days. Hmm, very Interesting indeed.
