About the language
Burmese is the official language of Myanmar. It is the first language of 32 million people – over half the country’s population – and is spoken as a second language by about 10 million more. Its vocabulary is mostly monosyllabic, as is common with other members of the Sino-Tibetan language family. In the country, a polysyllable will often indicate a loan word from a European language. The language is tonal, which means that the pitch, duration or loudness of a vowel can modify the meaning of a word.

Burmese
is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Myanmar (also known as Burma), where it is an official language, lingua franca, and the native language of the Burmans, the country’s principal ethnic group. Burmese is also spoken by the indigenous tribes in Chittagong Hill Tracts (Rangamati, Bandarban, Khagrachari, Cox’s Bazar) in Bangladesh, and in Tripura state in Northeast India.
Although the Constitution of Myanmar officially recognizes the English name of the language as the Myanmar language, most English speakers continue to refer to the language as Burmese, after Burma, the country’s once previous and currently co-official name. Burmese is the common lingua franca in Myanmar, as the most widely-spoken language in the country. In 2007, it was spoken as a first language by 33 million, primarily the Burman people and related ethnic groups, and as a second language by 10 million, particularly ethnic minorities in Myanmar and neighboring countries. In 2022, the Burmese-speaking population was 38.8 million.
Fun facts of language
- The Burmese for ‘it’s business as usual’ is ‘go come eat drink live’!
- In the country writing does not need any spaces between words.
- The local has its own ancient alphabet but the spelling preserves sounds that are no longer pronounced – ‘Myanmar’ is actually spelled ‘Mranma’ in Burmese script.
- The letters in the language are curvy because it used to be written on leaves which would tear if straight lines were drawn on them.
