<h2>Objective</h2> 
<p> 
  Provide a transliteration scheme between Sinhala and the International
  Phonetic Alphabet to allow non-Sinhala speakers to identify the phonemes
  associated with Sinhala letters.
</p> 
 
<h2>Clarification</h2> 
<p> 
  When a Sinhala consonant is part of a word, the inherent vowel is a
  'ə' (schwa). So a 'ක', when it is part of a word,
  is transliterated to a 'kə'. There are two exceptions to this rule.
  <ol> 
    <li>When the Sinhala consonant is the first letter of a word, the
        inherent vowel is a 'ʌ' (caret). So a 'ක', when it is the first
        letter of a word is transliterated to a 'kʌ'.
    </li> 
    <li>When one is simply referring to the letter by itself, the
        inherent vowel is a 'ʌ' (caret). So the letter 'ක' is transliterated
        to a 'kʌ'.
    </li> 
  </ol>
