In addition, there are Berg, Malays and indigenous Vinda people. The ancient nation of immigrants Sri Lanka truly indigenous peoples is Vinda, number is few.

Other ethnic groups are immigrants. Sinhalese belongs to India - the Aryan race, fifth Century BC, migrated from the subcontinent of India to the si. From the analysis of this ancient stone inscriptions and linguistics, Sinhalese are influenced not only the subcontinent of India northeast, also have the effect of the subcontinent of India northwest. So the people of Sinhalese is from India, where there are different views. At present, people are generally, Sinhalese from northern India. Sinhalese into other races in the history of the evolution of the lineage. Tamil is a Dravidian, from the point of view of racial taxonomy, it is between the Negro - Australian and Europa race. The Tamil people from the south, the India subcontinent into time, and Sinhalese almost.

The moors are Arabs offspring. As early as the eighth Century ad, the Arabs began to Sri Lanka in business, to 12, in thirteenth Century, more and more Arab immigration, some directly from the Arabia area, some from the west coast of India, especially in Mumbai area, engaged in commercial and fishing, and with the local women's marriage, procreation. They are called "the moors". During the colonial period, the Europeans and the locals intermarriage offspring, known as the European lineage. They retain the European tradition, spoken English, engaged in staff and free occupation.

Holland colonists to strengthen his rule from Malaya, once recruited a regiment, stationed in colombo. The soldiers did not return home, has been to Sri Lanka for the home, their descendants are called "malay". This part of the majority population of Colombo, the rest live in hambantota. Many menial work and oversee a kind of occupation. Each nation is divided into two parts, is this why? The Sinhalese in Sri Lanka is minority, without distinction. Western colonialists invaded Sri Lanka, coastal areas (locally called "lowland") Sinhalese soon conquered. In Kandy as the center of the alpine regions (Highland) Sinhalese is as long as 300 years from 1505 to 1815 years, indomitable spirit, adhere to the struggle against the colonists, more to keep the Sinhalese ethnic traditions and customs. Hence the distinction between lowland Sinhalese and highland sinhalese. In the previous census, the lowland Sinhalese and highland Sinhalese were statistics. Sri Lanka Tamils are second great nations.

Most of them settled in Sri Lanka since ancient times in the northern and eastern regions, these people are called "Tamils in Sri lanka". In eighteenth Century, the British colonists for the development of the central mountain plantations, from the South India Tai Milner DuPont into a large number of Tamil labor, this part is called the India tamils. In ancient times the migration from Arabia area to Sri Lanka Muslim, called "Sri Lankan moors", and later from the west coast of India, the settlers called "India Muslim moors". European lineage life style is very similar, but is also divided into two categories: the Portuguese and Dutch and local people through marriage, offspring, called Berg (Burgher). The British ancestry, do not want other people to refer to themselves as Berg, stressing that he is a European lineage.
