Burmese Language
Thanks to its coastal location, Burma served early on as an important point of convergence for traders from all around the world. Early outside contact with Sri Lanka, India, and the West means that the Burmese have long been exposed to a variety of influences that have affected the development of cultures, religions and languages.
Burmese, the mother tongue of the Bamar and official language of Myanmar, is closely related to Tibetan and to the Chinese languages. It is written in a script consisting of circular and semi-circular letters, which comes from the Mon script.
