- Wellala o Vellala o Vellalar (plural Wellales o Vellales) és el nom de la principal casta tàmil de Sri Lanka. Es van originar per emigracions de tàmils des del sud de l'Índia al segle xiii. Avui dia han donat origen a moltes castes i moltes comunitats reclamen origen vellala. Durant el període de independència de facto del Tamil Eelam, els líders del grup dominant eren de la casta , que es considerava inferior a la vellala, i es diu que van promocionar l'abolició de les castes més per superar aquesta consideració que per les seves posicions socialistes.

- Sri Lankan Vellalar (Tamil: இலங்கை வெள்ளாளர், lit. 'Ilaṅkai veḷḷāḷar') is a caste in Sri Lanka, predominantly found in the Jaffna peninsula and adjacent Vanni region, who comprise about half of the Sri Lankan Tamil population. They were traditionally involved in agriculture, but also included merchants, landowners and temple patrons. They also form part of the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora. They are reputed as a ritually and numerical dominant caste, who have contributed among the political elites of the Sri Lankan Tamils. Many of the Tamil Mudaliyars, a high colonial rank, were drawn from the Vellalar caste. In Eastern Sri Lanka are the Vellalars as other prominent castes there, further divided into kudis or matrilineal clans. (en)
