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.

Myanmar is a cheating name. Only Burma 🇲🇲 is the original name.
Nothing related with china language.
