Myanmese?
I am not sure about calling our people as Myanmese. Is there any rule regarding the naming of citizens of a certain country.We call it ourselves as "Myanmar" or "Myanmar citizen". We didn't use Myanmese to refer to us. Thus, any Expert can verify the usage?

 * I changed it to Burmese, which is the usual word in English. There's no such word as "Myanmese", though "Myanmar" can be used as an adjective as well as a noun in English. For example, the language can be called Burmese language or Myanmar language (the former being way, way, more common), but never the "Myanmese language". Pais (talk) 12:15, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hpone]
I think women in Burma are still subjected to old traditional beliefs such as hpone. Hpon refers to the cumulative result of past deeds, an idea that power or social position comes from merit earned in previous lives. This idea is used to justify the prevalent view that women are less equal than men, who are considered to have more hpon. 122.248.99.6 (talk) 11:19, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
