I'm pretty sure Singhalese is a branch of Indic. The tree doesn't group the Indic languages into subfamilies so you'll have to follow that up yourself. Erin.

And quite frankly I'm sick of hosting these sorts of questions. You're not the first to ask, but you will be the last. Is this a comprehensive language tree? No it is not, you should know that before posting. It is a nice cartoon illustration that comes from Gamkrelidze and Ivanov's, “<a href="http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/6507/chronicle120.html" rel="nofollow">The Early History of Indo-European Languages</a>” which was printed in <em>Scientific American</em> in March 1990. If you have any questions why X language isn't included in the tree, people should try and contact the people who <em>made</em> the tree. I don’t know where Singhalese is.
