Tamil Sri Lanka
Tamil Sri Lanka adalah anggota kelompok etnik Tamil yang tinggal di negara Sri Lanka. Meskipun orang Tamil Sri Lanka berbeda secara budaya dan bahasa, studi genetik menunjukkan bahwa mereka berkaitan erat dengan kelompok etnis Sinhala di pulau itu. Orang Tamil Sri Lanka kebanyakan beragama Hindu dan sebagian menganut Kristen. Sastra Tamil Sri Lanka tentang berbagai topik termasuk agama dan sains berkembang pesat selama periode abad pertengahan di istana Kerajaan Jaffna. Dialek Tamil Sri Lanka terkenal karena arkaisme dan kata-kata yang tidak digunakan sehari-hari di negara bagian Tamil Nadu di India.
