Myanmar or Burma? | Dr. Khin Aye | TEDxUM1Yangon

Myanmar and Burma is perhaps the most baffling terminology for the people of Myanmar. After the change of the name of the country from Burma to Myanmar, there has been many controversies and confusions. In this talk, Dr. Khin Aye, Professor of Myanmar Literature analyzes the root of these two words from purely literature perspective and attempts to show the differences between the two usages. Sayargyi Professor U Khin Aye (Maung Khin Min Danuphyu) is a well-known author and an academic. He had served many years as a Professor of Myanmar Literature and has contributed greatly to the field. He had won many awards for his articles and has published more than 100 books since 1957.
His research papers has been read in Myanmar research symposiums as well as at international conferences as well. In recent days, after his retirement, he is still active in Myanmar language doctoral training, Ministry of Religion and Culture, and in external organizations concerned with language and literacy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Myanmar is a cheating name. Only Burma 🇲🇲 is the original name.
Nothing related with china language.
Don’t get crazy 🎉🎉🎉
