The use of 'u' as a vowel diacritic in Sinhala words
I am not sure if this is true to Sinhala or maybe it was an incorrect site that I was on, but (as an example) the word garlic - සුදුලුනු translated into 'suu.duu.luu.nu’ yet if that were true (with the pronlonged 'u' sound) then wouldn't it look like සූදූලූනු?
If I am completely wrong then I am sorry, could you please clarify?
