Sinhala only?

Sri Lanka’s embassy in the United Arab Emirates has come under criticism after posting a message on its official website with a string of Tamil language errors.

The message, which is still visible on the website here, also contains errors in English.

The Tamil meanwhile, contains multiple typos and font errors.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
