BurmanThe largest ethnic group in Myanmar (formerly Burma). The Burmans, speakers of a Sino-Tibetan language, migrated from the hills of Tibet, settling in the areas around Mandalay by the 11th century. From the Mons, a neighbouring people, the Burmans acquired Hīnayāna Buddhism and a written script based on Indian syllables. The Burmans are mainly settled in the valleys where they cultivate rice in irrigated fields. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Burma is home to the world's longest-running civil war, an ethnic conflict in the eastern part of the country between minorities like the Karen, and the army--which is dominated by Burmans, the country's ethnic majority. All the ethnic groups in Burma want an equal voice in a government that they have seen become increasingly controlled by Burmans. The Burmans and their staff prepare the breast-enhanced torsos and buttocks awaiting implants. |
