Sinhala is the native language of most Sri Lankans and an official language alongside Tamil. It is the main language of everyday life, commerce, and media across most of the island, and is also spoken by Sri Lankan communities abroad.
Supporting Sinhala lets you serve customers from Colombo to Kandy and Galle, and reach Sri Lankan communities in Italy, the Middle East, and Australia.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Sinhala speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Sinhala shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Offices in Colombo often run meetings in Sinhala with English for business and tech terms, so notes need to capture both.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Sinhala support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Spoken Sinhala differs sharply from its formal written form, so voice agents need to understand everyday speech, not textbook Sinhala.
Voice agents →Make Sinhala podcasts, videos, and broadcasts searchable and subtitled, and reach audiences in other languages through translation.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
Ship Sinhala voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
