A result of this extensive intermixing is evident in the proliferation of Portuguese names such as Don, Singno, Dona, and Siciliana and surnames such as Fernando, Perera, Gomes, Costa, and De Silva throughout the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Lankan community. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For approximately 350 years, Sri Lankan Portuguese Creole, a language still spoken by Sri Lankan Portuguese community and Ceylon Africans was the lingua franca of the island. This language allowed disparate communities to communicate, trade, and interact as well as to intermarry and share culture. The resultant influence on the Sinhalese language is a long list of loanwords from Portuguese. Examples such as bankuva, Mesa, janelaya, kasade, soldaduva, and Naththal (Christmas), and even \u201cOi\u201d, amongst hundreds of others have enriched local languages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The infectiously dance inducing music of Baila was developed from Portuguese contact with local communities. It is during such contact that Afro Ceylonese rhythms, Malay rabane drums, and Portuguese guitars and violins combined with Sinhalese and Tamil languages which gave rise to this truly Lankan musical tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Through communal contact, Portuguese nuns and bakers introduced bread (paan), banis, cakes such as love cake and Christmas cake, empanadas (pattis) and cutlets. Sweets such as wiskirinya and puhul dosi as well as produce such as cashews and chillies are contemporarily eaten by all Lankans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Then there is Beeralu lace making, poetry, Naththal and wedding celebration and a plethora of cultural traditions so intertwined within society that they are immediately recognisable as Lankan. Presently, the Sri Lankan Portuguese community preserves language and culture with assistance from the University of Lisbon.
