Borrowed fromSinhalese ශ්රී ලංකා ( śrī laṁkā ) /ශ්රී ලංකාව ( śrī laṁkāwa ) , fromSanskrit श्री लङ्का ( śrī laṅkā , literally“ holyLanka ” ) .
"Sri" is originally a Sanskrit honorific (श्री , ISO: Śrī), originally pronounced [ɕriː]; the closest English phoneme to [ɕ] is /ʃ/, resulting in the approximation/ʃɹ/ . The pronunciation with/sɹ/ also occurs in English as aspelling pronunciation and/orhyperforeignism . In Sinhalese, [sriː] may occur as an acceptable variant pronunciation, mainly in quick or informal speech, because [ɕ] is an uncommon phoneme in Sinhalese and is replaced with [s] in certain dialects.
Both stresses on the first and second syllables of "Lanka" are accepted, but the latter is closer to its native pronunciation.

Official name:Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka Colombo 2022 February 9, Karen McVeigh, “‘Oil spills of our time’: experts sound alarm about plastic lost in cargo ship disasters ”, inThe Guardian [2] Guardian Media Group , retrieved11 February 2022 , Seascape: the state of our oceans:Sri Lanka has asked the IMO to classify plastic pellets as toxic substances, and Vanuatu is calling for better reporting of containers lost at sea.
“Sri Lanka” has been the official name since 1972; prior to that it wasCeylon .
Place names are a source of controversy in Sri Lankan politics, in connection with theSri Lankan Civil War , and some find “Sri Lanka” to be too Sinhalese. A Tamil name isEelam , and some Tamil political parties retain “Ceylon” in their name, such as theAll Ceylon Tamil Congress and theCeylon Workers' Congress .
