COLOMBO: Sri Lanka has initiated motion towards Chinese tasks which can be flouting local language regulations within the country.
Several Chinese project sites within the South-Asian island nation have been discovered to be the usage of Mandarin and English language for the signal forums and ignoring the reliable languages -- Sinhala and Tamil.
The Minister of National Integration, Official Languages, Social Progress and Hindu Religious Affairs tweeted that motion has been initiated towards such sites.
"We can't tolerate violations of local language laws at Chinese sites in Sri Lanka. We wish to provide assistance, if any required & plan to engage with all including the #Chinese embassy," Mano Ganesan tweeted.
Mano initiated motion towards using Mandarin language after receiving court cases.
"Chinese in Sri Lanka should respect local laws. We are receiving complains on sign boards at Chinese projects using Mandarin & English scripts only ignoring both or one of the official languages, IE., Sinhala & Tamil," he wrote.
Sri Lankan authorities believe that whole lack of information of reliable Sri Lankan languages on Chinese project sites is an onslaught on the tradition that binds the island country in combination.
China had helped the Lankans by providing loans and monetary assistance for construction of the Hambantota Port. Later, the Lankans passed over the port to the Chinese on hire.
