Sri Lankans discovered Sri Lanka :-). Seriously, this question is like "Who discovered England?". Sri Lankans, known as Sinhalese at the time, have lived in Sri Lanka for over 2,500 years and have written records about their history since 500 BC. Chinese and Arabs traded with Sri Lanka between 10-15th Century AD and since then Sri Lanka was occupied by Portuguese, Dutch and English, and was given independence in 1948.
