I was using the list of locale IDs (LCID) assigned by Microsoft as in the
following URIs (or many others if you search for the string "Sinhalese" in
micorosoft.com domain).

Also notice that the name of the language in ISO 639 was very recently changed
to Sinhala (see comment #6 from me) to reflect the common usage.  A discussion
related to the use of "Sinhala" instead of "Sinhalese" in GNOME (on the Sinhala
GNU/Linux list) can be found in the following threads.

Both KDE and GNOME are now using the language name as "Sinhala":

Glibc locale we have submitted (and reviewed) also uses "Sinhala":
