The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has had discussions with the unity government's UNP And SLFP regarding clearly the defining the meaning of 'unitary state', which translates into the Sinhala word 'Ekeeya'.
Quoting a senior government official, Ceylon Today said that the discussions were aimed at including a Tamil equivalent of the word.
"That means the exact corresponding word in Tamil for the word Ekeeya may probably be used in the Tamil version of the Constitution too," the official was quoted as saying.
In the eventuality of inconsistent translations however, Sri Lanka's constitution makes clear that the Sinhala meaning overrules all others.
