This is also true in the case of Sri Lankan English (hereafter SLE) . This study concentrates mainly on the phonological features of non-standard SLE, identified mainly by deviations in pronunciation of a few vowels and consonants. The objective of this paper is to analyze the terms characterized as non-standard by using Muysken’s theory on Code Mixing. The proposed analysis will categorize elements into insertion and congruent lexicalization strategies. The study will analyze recorded speech of 20 urban bilinguals to obtain data. Self-assessment questionnaires will be used to determine attitudes towards phonologically marked items. Results will reveal that terms which are phonologically marked as non-standard. These phonologically marked items identified as Sinhalizations show more affinity to Sinhala phonology and are based on the speaker ’s first language. They are products of a grammaticalisation process.  \nKeywords: Sinhalizations, Code Mixing, grammaticalisation process  \n1. Introduction  \nThe status of Englishi in Sri Lanka keeps on changing. It is as widely used as the Sinhalaii language. In many instances, the two languages are used simultaneously by speakers in informal conversations. Many describe English as a‘tool ’ in communication and others may opt to say it as a ‘weapon’ (Kandiah 1984: 117) used to stigmatize speakers. The mixing context between these two languages in Sri Lanka has brought about changes not only withiniii these languages but also in the socio-economic status of the speakers. Furthermore, it has resulted in creating a mixed variety with many distinct linguistic features.  \nThe subject of this study concentrates mainly on a certain phonological features of Sinhala which has a significant impact on English used in Sri Lanka. It is important to note that ‘non-standard’English is defined mainly by the use of these few vowels and consonants by bilingual speakers whose familiarity with Sinhala becomes obvious due to phonological deviations from Standard English. In fact, phonetic variation in spoken English in Sri Lanka has received considerable attention as it identifies speakers as either ‘standard’ or non-standard’.  \nThe aim of this study is to present the phonological characteristics that determine the linguistic status of Sinhala-English bilinguals in Sri Lanka and to analyze the terms characterized as ‘non-standard’ using Muysken’s typology on Code Mixing (CM) . The language varieties under study are spoken English and colloquial Sinhala, which are widely used in day to day activities in present day Sri Lankan urban society. These items are referred to as Sinhalizationsiv.  \n2. Sinhala in Sri Lanka  \nSince the first permanent settlements of Ceylon, believed to be in the first millennium, Sinhala has developed with continuous contact with many Germanic, Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages for over two millennia (Gair 1998: 3) . The distinct features of Sinhala phonology, morphology and syntax owe much to this colorful historical background. The evidence of it is found in the rich array of vocabulary Sinhala language boasts due to a number of loans from languages it had come in contact with. Sinhala in Sri Lanka is spoken alongside Tamil, English, Malay and otherlanguages. It is widely used in both formal and informal contexts.
