The Sinhala Sign Anusvaraya (ං) is a diacritic sign in Sinhala. It is used to indicate nasalization associated with the preceding sound in Sinhala orthography. In practical terms, it helps represent how a syllable should be pronounced—specifically adding a nasal quality that is part of the language’s spelling conventions.
