語源

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.

使用する際の注意点

• Burma is a traditional name of Myanmar, and was the official name in English until 1989. It is still used to express disapproval of the military government, which changed the name. See Names of Myanmar on Wikipedia.
• Though Myanma is also an derived adjective of Myanmar, the current government has preferred to use the unchanged term Myanmar rather than Myanma.
