In this work, we describe the steps and strategies we carried out on defining morpheme segmentation boundaries of Sinhala words (which we called Gold Standard Definitions).We measured the coverage of the defined resource against three different Sinhala corpora and obtained over 70% coverage for each corpora.Then we report some interesting facts and findings about the Sinhala language revealed due to this development and finally about some applications of this valuable linguistic resource.
