Introduction Windows 11 includes native support for Sinhala (Sri Lanka’s official language) and Tamil (another official language of Sri Lanka and India). Unlike older Windows versions where you had to install third-party software like "Helakuru" or "Tamil 99," Windows 11 now offers built-in IMEs for both languages. However, third-party tools still offer advanced features like phonetic typing and predictive text.
