Natural language.
Sinhala (or Sinhalese) is the language spoken in Sri Lanka by the Sinhalese, who are known to be the native inhabitants of the island. Like the Tamil language, which apparently has influenced some of the vocabulary, Sinhala has a massive myriad of ‘alphabets’ (more precisely, characters and symbols). It seems someone wrote a text editing software that would recognize and convert ‘romanized’ English Sinhalese into actual Sinhalese characters.
This piece of software is called Singlish.
(For those who donch know, Singlish is acherly a home-cooked creole.)
