Talk:Kamayut Township

Meaning of name
Kamayut is a Mon name but I'm quite certain it doesn't mean "Khmer", which is a relatively new term in Burmese. The name of the Khmer people in old Burmese (prior to the colonial period) was Gywan (MY ဂျွမ်း, ), (which probably came from Mon!) The current Burmese word for the Khmer people (MY ခမာ, ) is a direct transliteration of "Khmer", a French spelling whose actual pronunciation isn't "Khama" as we pronounce it. So I highly doubt that "Kama" comes from "Khmer".

So please provide a citation. Otherwise, I'll have to remove it. Thanks. Hybernator (talk) 16:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
