====Prenasalization==== The [[prenasalized consonant]]s resemble their plain counterparts. {{angbr|ඹ}}, ''m̆ba'' is made up of the left half of {{angbr|ම}} ''ma'' and the right half of {{angbr|බ}} ''ba'', while the other three are just like the grapheme for the plosive with a little stroke added.{{sfn|Fairbanks|Gair|Silva|1968|p=126}} Vowel diacritics attach to a prenasalised consonant in the same way as they would to the corresponding plain plosives. {| class="wikitable letters" |+ Prenasalized consonants{{noteTag|group=consonants|Letters in black belong to the {{translit|si|iso|śuddha}} set, while letters in pink belong to the {{translit|si|iso|miśra}} set.}} |- |{{letter|l=si|color=black|ch=ඟ|iso=n̆ga|ipa=[ᵑɡa]|note=śuddha}} |{{letter|l=si|color=pink|ch=ඦ|iso=n̆ja|ipa=[ⁿd͡ʒa]|note=miśra{{br}}{{noteTag|name=nja|group=consonants|This letter is not used anywhere, neither in modern nor ancient Sinhala.
