Card of the Day - 2026-07-15

The people of the current country of Sri Lanka date back to prehistory, but though we know they were there, we know very little about them, right up until the 6th century BC when a great migration of peoples across Russia and down towards India began to occur. And it is their language that forms the basis of the languages of the Indian region, as far out as to the islands, including those of the Maldives, and what we today call Sri Lanka.
