Myanmar
See also: myanmar
English
Etymology
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). When certain words are attached, the combination may mean specifically Myanmar (Burma) (country) or Burmese (person, language, etc.) - a noun. The only plausible explanation of mranma that has been advanced is that it is a variation of Sanskrit ब्रह्मन् (bráhman), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (“to become high, rise, elevate”). Thus the country is dedicated to God.
