Apologies for the mess that is Colombo and friends. I have never been able to find urban area figures for Sri Lankan cities. For your health and safety I strongly recommend the zoom feature, however...

Also you are given Kesbewa for free, since the settlement itself is quite small and so citypopulation.de's grouping of it with other suburbs seems a tad far-fetched.

Great! I really should know more of these since I'm from here. I'm a bit surprised not to see Polonnaruwa, though.

Thank you! The unfortunate thing, is that the Colombo metro area fills most of the city slots, leaving out other, more famous cities. There is also a small number of databases to get cities population statistics from. This all makes Sri Lanka very unfun for city quizzes, though the country itself seems quite fun, on the contrary.
