Introduction to Burmese

Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Bangladesh and India. Burmese is Myanmar’s official language. The Burmese speaking population is close to 40 million people by 2020. As a Sino-Tibetan language, Burmese is largely monosyllabic and analytic, with a subject–object–verb word order, thus, very unique from most languages in the world. In this video, Aye Myat will share the difference in Burmese language structure and pronouciation from those of English. She will also introduce the culture of Myanmar and teach some unique phrases of Burmese cultural and social value.
