Etymology

From Burmese မြန်မာ (mja̱ ma), the formal Burmese name of the main ethnic group in Myanmar, ဗမာ (băma) is the informal name, from which Burma is derived. Both Burmese terms are also adjectives meaning "Burmese" (related to Myanmar/Burma, its, people, language, etc). When certain words are attached, the combination may mean specifically Myanmar (Burma) (country) or Burmese (person, language, etc.) - a noun.
