Teseract OCR for sinhala language

[Kus WikzSL]

Hi All,
     I am currently doing my undergraduate project. It include a OCR part for "SInhala" language (primary language of sri lanka).
I hope to doing using teseract. But the problem is there is no train data for sinhala language. Can any one help me to describe how to train for a
new language. I follow  https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract3 , but i still have no idea how to do it.

   P.S  And also in  the google doc working properly for sinhala ocr. I think it also done by teseract. Can any one one know how to get the training data file of it.

Regards,
Kus

I think 'sin' is Sinhala:
