Negombo Tamils
Negombo Tamils or Puttalam Tamils is a term usually used for native Sri Lankan Tamils who live in the western Gampaha and Puttalam districts of Sri Lanka. It does not apply to Tamil immigrants from other parts of Island into these districts. They are distinguished from other Tamils from the island nation by their unique dialect(s), one of which is known as Negombo Tamil dialect, facial characteristics such as their thick pouting lips and other aspects of their culture. Other sub categories of native Tamils of Sri Lanka are Jaffna Tamils or Northern Tamils and Batticalao Tamils or Eastern Tamils from the traditional Tamil dominant North and East of the Island nation. Negombo is a principal coastal city in the Gampaha District and Puttalam is also the principal city within the neighbouring Puttalam District.〔(Contact-Induced Morphosyntactic Realignment in Negombo Fishermen’s Tamil ) By Bonta Stevens, South Asian Language Analysis Roundtable XXIII (October 12, 2003) The University of Texas at Austin〕〔( Negombo fishermen's Tamil: A case of contact-induced language change from Sri Lanka ) by Bonta Stevens , Cornell University〕〔(Roman-Dutch law versus Tesavalamai ) FERNANDO v.

==Assimilation==
(詳細はSinhalese ethnic group known as Sinhalisation. This process is enabled via number of caste myths and legends.In the Gampaha district ethnic Tamils have historically inhabited the coastal belt where as in the neighboring Puttalam district, until the first two decades of the twentieth century it had a substantial ethnic Tamil population of whom majority were Catholics and a minority were Hindus.〔( Participation, Patrons and the Village: The case of Puttalam District ) by Jens Foell et al.〕〔(Pearling, fishing and military heritage of Chilaw residents from India )〕〔Susantha Goonetilleke, ''Sinhalisation: Migration or Cultural Colonization?'' Lanka Guardian Vol. 3, No. I, May I, 1980, pp. 22-29, and May 15 1980, pp. 18-19.〕
According to L.J.B.Turner, although the distinction between Sinhalese and Tamils of the present day Sri Lanka is so marked but in the past there was considerable fusion between these ethnic groups. According to him the results of this fusion are most obvious on the western coast between Negombo and Puttalam, where a large proportion of the villagers, though they call themselves Sinhalese, speak Tamil, and are, undoubtedly, of Tamil descent. According to local legends their ancestors being captives from India or imported weavers and other artisans.〔1921 Ceylon census by L.B. Turner (p202 of Vol I)〕〔Spencer, J, ''Sri Lankan history and roots of conflict'', p. 23〕
This historic process was embraced by the educational policies of a local Bishop Edmund Peiris who was instrumental in changing the medium of education from Tamil to Sinhalese.〔〔(How Sri Lanka undermined infallibility of Pope John Paul II )〕
