ကြိုဆိုပါတယ်။ / Welcome to the Myanmar Portal

Myanmar, officially theRepublic of the Union of Myanmar and also referred to asBurma (the official English name until 1989), is a country in northwestSoutheast Asia. It is the largest country by area inMainland Southeast Asia and has a population of about 55 million. It is bordered byIndia andBangladesh to the northwest,China to the northeast,Laos andThailand to the east and southeast, and theAndaman Sea and theBay of Bengal to the south and southwest. The country's capital city isNaypyidaw, while itslargest city isYangon (formerly Rangoon).

Following the2020 Myanmar general election, in whichAung San Suu Kyi's party won a clear majority in both houses, the Tatmadaw again seized power in a2021 coup d'état, which led to the rule of theNational Defence and Security Council (NDSC) and its new military junta, theState Administration Council (SAC). The coup, which was widely condemned by theinternational community, led tocontinuous ongoing widespread protests in Myanmar and has been marked by violentpolitical repression by the military, as well as the outbreak of acivil war. The military again arrested Aung San Suu Kyi in order to remove her from public life, and charged her with crimes ranging fromcorruption to violation ofCOVID-19 protocols; all of the charges against her are "politically motivated" according to independent observers. The SAC imposed a state of emergency from 2021 to 2025, after which it transferred power back to the NDSC.

Myanmar is a member of theEast Asia Summit,Non-Aligned Movement,ASEAN, andBIMSTEC, but it is not a member of theCommonwealth of Nations despite once being part of theBritish Empire. Myanmar is a Dialogue Partner of theShanghai Cooperation Organization. The country is very rich innatural resources, such asjade,gems,oil,natural gas,teak and otherminerals, as well as endowed withrenewable energy, having the highestsolar power potential compared to other countries of the GreatMekong Subregion. However, Myanmar has long suffered frominstability, factional violence,corruption, poor infrastructure, as well as a long history ofcolonial exploitation with little regard tohuman development. In 2013, its GDP (nominal) stood at US$56.7 billion and its GDP (PPP) at US$221.5 billion. Theincome gap in Myanmar is among the widest in the world, as a large proportion of theeconomy is controlled bycronies of themilitary junta. Myanmar is one of theleast developed countries in the world.

The country remains riven by ethnic strife among itsmyriad ethnic groups and has one of the world'slongest-running ongoing civil wars. TheUnited Nations and several other organisations have reported consistent and systemichuman rights violations in the country. Since 2021, more than 600,000 people have been displaced across Myanmar due to thecivil war post-coup, with more than three million people in dire need of humanitarian assistance. According to theUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are over 1.3 million people counted as refugees and asylum seekers, and 3.5 million people displaced internally as of December 2024.

Salween River inShan State, Myanmar

TheSalween is aSoutheast Asian river, about 3,289 km (2,044 mi) long, flowing from theTibetan Plateau south into theAndaman Sea. The Salween flows primarily within southwestChina and easternMyanmar, with a short section forming the border of Myanmar andThailand. Throughout most of its course, it runs swiftly through rugged mountain canyons. Despite the river's great length, only the last 90 km (56 mi) are navigable, where it forms a modest estuary and delta atMawlamyine. The river is known by various names along its course, including theThanlwin (named afterElaeocarpus sp., an olive-like plant that grows on its banks) in Myanmar and theNu Jiang (or Nu River, named afterNu people) in China. The commonly used spelling "Salween" is ananglicisation of the Burmese name dating from 19th-century British maps.

Due to its great range of elevation and latitude coupled with geographic isolation, the Salween basin is considered one of the most ecologically diverse regions in the world, containing an estimated 25 percent of the world's terrestrial animal species and thousands of plant species. Along its course the Salween provides water for agriculture and supports abundant fisheries, especially in the delta region. The Salween basin is home to numerous ethnic minority groups, whose ancestors largely originated in the Tibetan Plateau and northwest China. Starting about 5,000 years ago, people began migrating south along the river, establishing small kingdoms andcity-states. (Full article...)

Thado Dhamma Yaza III (Burmese:သတိုးဓမ္မရာဇာ,pronounced[ðədódəma̰jàzà]; also known asMingyi Hnaung (မင်းကြီးနှောင်း,[mɪ́ɴdʑín̥áʊɴ]);c. 1571–1597) was viceroy of Prome (Pyay) from 1589 to 1595, and self-styled king of Prome from 1595 to 1597. Hnaung was initially a loyal vassal of his father KingNanda until 1594 when he openly clashed with his brother Crown PrinceMinye Kyawswa. Hnaung revolted in 1595 during the Siamese siege ofPegu (Bago). His revolt started a string of other revolts by the major vassal states of theToungoo Empire in the next two years. His attempts to take over territories beyond Prome's traditional vassals in the present-dayMagwe Region were unsuccessful. The self-proclaimed king was assassinated byYan Naing, one of his trusted advisers, on the eve of his planned invasion of Upper Burma in 1597. (Full article...)

Mahamuni Buddha Temple

Mandalay is the second-largest city inMyanmar, afterYangon. It is located on the east bank of theIrrawaddy River, 631 km (392 mi) north of Yangon. In 2014, the city had a population of 1,225,553.

Mandalay was founded in 1857 by KingMindon, replacingAmarapura as the new royal capital of theKonbaung dynasty. It was Burma's final royal capital before the kingdom'sannexation by theBritish Empire in 1885. Under British rule, Mandalay remained commercially and culturally important despite the rise of Yangon, the new capital of British Burma. The city suffered extensive destruction during theJapanese conquest of Burma in theSecond World War. In 1948, Mandalay became part of the newly independent Union of Burma. (Full article...)

သာသနာ့အလံတော်
Flag of the Buddha Sāsana

Buddhism (Burmese:ဗုဒ္ဓဘာသာ), specificallyTheravada branch (Burmese:ထေရဝါဒဗုဒ္ဓဘာသာ), is the official andstate religion ofMyanmar since 1961, and practiced by nearly 90% of the population. It is the most religious Buddhist country in terms of the proportion of monks in the population and proportion of income spent on religion. With approximately 48 million Buddhists, Myanmar has thethird largest Buddhist population in the world, afterThailand andChina. Adherents are most likely found among theBamar,Shan,Rakhine,Mon,Karen, andChinese who are well integrated into Burmese society.Monks, collectively known as thesangha (community), are venerated members of Burmese society. Among many ethnic groups in Myanmar, including the Bamar and Shan, Theravada Buddhism is practiced in conjunction with the worship ofnats, which are spirits who can intercede in worldly affairs. Buddhists in Myanmar are governed byBurmese customary law.

Two popular practices aremerit-making andvipassanā meditation. There is also the less popularweizza path. Merit-making is the most common path undertaken by Burmese Buddhists. This path involves the observance of theFive precepts and accumulation of goodmerit through charity (dana, often to monks) and good deeds to obtain a favorablerebirth. The meditation path, which has gained ground since the early 20th century, is a form of Buddhist meditation which is seen as leading toawakening and can involve intensemeditation retreats. The weizza path is an esoteric system of occult practices (such as recitation of spells,samatha and alchemy) believed to lead to life as aweizza (Burmese:ဝိဇ္ဇာPali:vijjā), a semi-immortal and supernatural being who awaits the appearance of thefuture Buddha,Maitreya (Burmese:အရိမေ‌တ္တေယျPali:Arimetteyya).

General elections were held inMyanmar on 8 November 2015, with theNational League for Democracy winning asupermajority of seats in the combined national parliament. Voting occurred in all constituencies, excluding seats appointed by themilitary, to select Members of Assembly to seats in both theAmyotha Hluttaw and thePyithu Hluttaw of thePyidaungsu Hluttaw, andState and Region Hluttaws.Ethnic Affairs Ministers were also elected by their designated electorates on the same day, although only select ethnic minorities in particular states and regions were entitled to vote for them.

These polls were the first openly contested election held in the country since1990, which was annulled by themilitary government after theNational League for Democracy's (NLD) victory. The poll was preceded by the2010 general election, which was marred by a boycott and widespread allegations of systematic fraud by the victoriousUnion Solidarity and Development Party (USDP).

Areas where Burmese is spoken (dark blue signifies areas where it is more widely spoken). This map does not indicate whether the language is a majority or minority.

Burmese (မြန်မာဘာသာစကား (sometimes also written as) ဗမာဘာသာစကား) is aTibeto-Burman language spoken inMyanmar, where it is theofficial language,lingua franca, and the native language of theBamar, the country's largest ethnic group. TheConstitution of Myanmar officially refers to it as theMyanmar language in English, though most English speakers continue to refer to the language asBurmese, afterBurma—a name with co-official status until 1989 (seeNames of Myanmar). Burmese is the most widely spoken language in the country, where it serves as the lingua franca. In 2019, Burmese was spoken by 42.9 million people globally, including by 32.9 million speakers as a first language and 10 million as a second language. A 2023World Bank survey found that 80% of the country's population speaks Burmese. Burmese dialects are also spoken by some of the indigenous tribes in Bangladesh'sChittagong Hill Tracts, China'sYunnan province, and India'snortheastern states, as well as byBurmese diaspora.

Burmese is atonal,pitch-register, andsyllable-timed language, largelymonosyllabic andagglutinative with asubject–object–verb word order. Burmese is distinguished from other major Southeast Asian languages by its extensive case marking system and rich morphological inventory. It is a member of theLolo-Burmese grouping of theSino-Tibetan language family. TheBurmese alphabet ultimately descends from aBrahmic script, either theKadamba orPallava alphabet. (Full article...)
