Myanmar

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed, initially into British English, from Burmese မြန်မာ (mranma), the formal Burmese name of the main ethnic group in Myanmar; ဗမာ (ba.ma), from which Burma is derived, is the informal name. Both Burmese terms are also adjectives meaning "Burmese" (related to Myanmar/Burma, its, people, language, etc). Like the r in the word Burma, the r at the end of Myanmar was not originally pronounced (and is not present in the Burmese term), it is a vowel-lengthening device used by non-rhotic dialects; compare gorm. === Pronunciation === (General American) IPA(key): /ˈmjɑnˌmɑɹ/, /ˌmjɑnˈmɑɹ/, /ˈmjænˌmɑɹ/ (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /mjænˈmɑː/, /ˈmjæn.mɑː/, /ˈmaɪ̯.ænˌmɑː/ (Standard Southern British) IPA(key): /mjanˈmɑː/, /ˈmjan.mɑː/, /ˈmɑjanˌmɑː/ (Scotland) IPA(key): /mjanˈmaɾ/, /ˈmjan.maɾ/, /ˈmʌɪ̯.anˌmaɾ/ (Wales) IPA(key): /mjanˈmaː/, /ˈmjan.maː/, /ˈmaɪ̯.anˌmaː/ Rhymes: -ɑː(ɹ) === Proper noun === Myanmar A country in Southeast Asia.
