    Abstract: The two romanizing schemes for Sinhala and Tamil languages presented here are intuitive to learn. They are specially designed to make it easy to input to a computer using the regular QWERTY keyboard. This makes them comparable to the western European languages. Presently both these languages have Unicode based code blocks. That solution has introduced a permanent problem of isolating the indigenous speakers of these languages from benefiting from the advances in information technologies. Especially the Sinhalese being a small and poor group does not have the economies of scale to sustain a Sinhala-only computer user community. Romanizing releases these communities to the open world of Internet users expanding their horizons. Pali and Sanskrit are subsets of Sinhala and would benefit from it by becoming accessible to the wider world community.
