“The OED’s remit is to document the vocabulary of every part of the world where English is used, and in Sri Lanka as in many other such regions, the roots of this vocabulary are often to be found in the writings of early voyagers, explorers and traders. Boyle’s research has admirably highlighted Knox’s contribution to the origins of Sri Lankan English and has provided much material for the updating and revision of this aspect of the OED.” - John Simpson, Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary
