VEDDA

The Vedda are an aboriginal peoples of Sri Lanka, who occupied the island before the arrival of the Aryans about 550 BC. Formerly cave-dwelling hunter- gatherers, they have now almost died out or merged with the rest of the population. They speak a Sinhalese language, belonging to the Indo- European family. They live mainly in the central highlands, and many practise shifting cultivation.
