The Vedda people’s beginnings are intertwined with the island’s ancient history, believed to descend from Sri Lanka’s original Neolithic inhabitants, dating back over 16,000 years. Genetic research indicates a close relationship between the Vedda and indigenous groups in Southeast Asia and southern India. The Vedda language, now at risk of extinction, includes a unique clicking sound, distinguishing it from other local languages.
