Sri Lanka Indo-Portuguese Ceylonese Portuguese Creole or Sri Lankan Portuguese Creole (SLPC) is a language spoken in Sri Lanka. While the predominant languages of the island are Sinhala and Tamil the interaction of the Portuguese and the Sri Lankans led to the evolution of a new language Sri Lanka Portuguese Creole (SLPC) which flourished as a lingua franca on the island for over 350 years (16th to mid 19th centuries). SLPC continues to be spoken by an unknown extremely small population.
