My Country Is Sri Lanka

My Country Is Sri Lanka

The name of my country is Sri Lanka. Its capital is Sri Jayewardenepura kotte. The official Languages are Sinhala, English & Tamil. The president is Mahinda Rajapaksha and the Prime Minister is D.M Jayaratne.

Sri Lanka is surrounded by Indian Ocean. The land area of my country measures nearly 2500 square miles and 30 percent of it’s covered by forests. The natural beauty of the country led it to being called “pearl of the Indian ocean”.

The people comprise several races:

Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Malays, and Burghers. Sinhala is used by the majority community. There are many religions too practiced by the people in this country.
