Wiktionary
Pronunciation: /ˈmjɑnˌmɑɹ/ / /ˌmjɑnˈmɑɹ/ / /ˈmjænˌmɑɹ/
adj
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 in the word Burma, the r was not originally pronounced (and is not present in the Burmese term), it is a vowel-lengthening device used by non-rhotic (British) dialects; compare gorm.
- Of or relating to Myanmar, Burmese.
