Ceylonian literature is heavily influenced by both Tierradorian and Cartadanian literature, due to the country’s colonial history with both nations. Historical Yapokee poet [[Ayba Shui]] (1124–1167), was one of the most well-known literary geniuses of Ceylonian history, and wrote close to 700 poems throughout his career. Modern Ceylonian literature is rooted in neoclassic styles. Some of the most well-known modern Ceylonian writers include [[Gláucio Nascimento]], [[Valter Câmara]], [[Waki Saiša]], [[Eliana Brito]], and [[Helena Valente]]. | |||

Traditional Ceylonian folk music is one of the most popular genres throughout the country. Besides that, Ceylonian music encompasses a wide variety of different genres. Similar to Tierradorian [[tuqasai]] music, traditional Ceylonian music consists of instruments such as ukuleles, flutes, drums, tambourines, and more recently, acoustic guitars and accordions. Some notable folk performers from Ceylonia include [[Pio Castro]], [[Atanór Bascaôt]], [[Socí Kaîas]], and [[Manoela Barros]]. | |||
Similar to traditional music, Ceylon pop music is also on the rise, particularly from Tierrador and Occidental Crona. Along with most popular South Cronan pop singers/bands, many Lusophonic Ceylon-based pop singers have been on the rise since the late 1980s. Artists with international recognition in Ceylonia include Cartadanian pop artist [[Adriana Dutra]], along with many Ceylon artists, including [[Constância Costa]], [[Ustai Tapis]], [[Miguel Arás]], and [[Óscar Leite]]. | |||

Sports are very important in Ceylonian culture. [[w:Association football|Football]] is the most popular sport in the country, with about 1.7 million registered players in 76,000 clubs. The [[Ceylon Primeira Liga]] is the highest level for football in the country, being contested by the 18 best clubs every year from August to May. The “big three” of Ceylon football clubs ([[Sporting Clube Ceilonia|Sporting CC]], [[S.S.M. Tagão|Tagão]] and [[Futebol Clube East Sachia|FC East Sachia]]) are the three most popular clubs in the country, share the top 3 most titles in both the Primeira Liga and the [[Taça Ceilonia]], and are the only 3 clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight. Some of the greatest Ceylon footballers include [[Joaõ Moreira]], [[Ciríaco Cavaco]], [[Tristão Dantas]], and [[Vítor Sapateiro]]. Some Ceylon football managers are also very well-known, including [[Viriato Bandeira]] and [[José Pimentel]]. The [[Ceylon national football team]] has won the [[UCFA|Cronan Championship]] once, in 1999, where they defeated Arcerion 2–1. The country qualified for the [[WAFF World Cup]] 8 times, with their best finish being in the 2006 quarterfinal. | Sports are very important in Ceylonian culture.
