''The Sri Lanka Gazette'', officially ''The Gazette of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, ''((シンハラ語:ශ්රී ලංකා ප්රජාතාන්ත්රික සමාජවාදී ජනරජයේ ගැසට් පත්රය)) is a public journal of the Government of Sri Lanka. It prints certain statutory notices from the government. Modeled after the ''Oxford Gazette'', the ''Sri Lanka Gazette'' is the oldest surviving newspaper in Sri Lanka, having been published continuously since 1802.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sri Lanka Memory of the World National Committee – Introduction )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Inception of Lake House )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sri Lanka )〕 Unlike other newspapers, it does not cover general news or have a large circulation. It is printed by the Department of Government Printing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Government Gazette Online )〕 ==History== The British captured some of the coastal areas of Sri Lanka in 1796. In 1802, they launched the ''The Ceylon Government Gazette'' to publish British government notices in the areas under their control. This was one of the series of papers launched by the British in their crown colonies, including ''Calcutta Gazette'' (1784), ''St. Lucia Gazette'' (1780), ''Cape Town Gazette'' and ''African Advertiser'' (1800) etc. The first issue of the ''Ceylon Gazette'' appeared on 15 March 1802.〔 It was printed by Frans de Bruin at the renovated press built in 1737 by the Dutch, who controlled the coastal areas of the island until 1796. A Tamil version of the ''Gazette'' was started in 1806, and a Sinhala version in 1814.〔 In 1972 the Sri Lankan government of Sirimavo Bandaranaike adopted a new Sri Lankan constitution and repudiated Dominion status. The paper ceased publication that year after issue 15,011. Publication started again after adoption of the 1978 constitution by the J. R. Jayewardene government.〔 In 2011, the Sri Lankan government announced that it would revoke a ''Gazette'' notification by the British government dating back to 1818, which named and shamed the key conspirators of the Great Rebellion of 1817–1818, the first struggle by Ceylonese to gain independence from Britain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sri Lanka Gazette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
