Burmese language

For people who check facts

Burmese is a language of the Tibeto-Burman family spoken in Burma. It is spoken by around 25,000,000 people in Burma, and by minorities in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand, and the United States.

It is written in the Burmese script, a rather circular looking member of the Brahmic family. The ISO 639 code for Burmese is 'my'.
