Being a member of Brahmic family of texts, Sinhala language can be dated far more than 2,000 years. It is considered that Sinhala script was available even before the arrival of Buddhism to Sri Lanka. But according to stone inscriptions it can be said that originally the letters used were Brahmi. However due to various reasons, the script & the language underwent many changes, including the modification of script & pronunciation, not forgetting the influence & absorption of words from Pali, Saskrit, Tamil, Portugese, Dutch & English.

Basaka Mahima is series of books, authored by Profesor J. B. Dissanayake, a senior lecturer of the University of Colombo & is one of the leading authorities of the Sinhala Language. This set of books were first published few years ago, but was soon out of stock as soon as it was printed. The second edition is printed due the popular demand.

'Basaka Mahima 1 - Sinhala Hodiya' gives the reader a clear understanding of the various Sinhala alphabets. This book is recommended for anybody who is interested in gaining a deeper & better understanding of the Sinhala language.

The rest of the books included in the 'Basaka Mahima' series are,
Basaka Mahima 2 - Akuru ha Pili
Basaka Mahima 3 - Na-kara Sammathaya
Basaka Mahima 4 - La-kara Sammathaya
Basaka Mahima 5 - Pada Sadhanaya
