The post discusses why Sinhala NLP should be understood not only as a data-scarcity problem, but also as an evaluation problem. It highlights existing progress such as FLORES, SinhalaMMLU, and Aya-style multilingual research, then proposes a community-shaped evaluation agenda covering Sinhala script, Romanized Sinhala, code-mixing, local knowledge, and human evaluation.
The draft has already been reviewed and approved by the Cohere Labs team.
