Can you help me?
Hi. :) I'm one of the volunteers who answers e-mail for the Wikimedia Foundation. We've received a letter from a person with questions about the Myanmar version of Wikipedia, but I cannot find an agent who speaks Myanmar. He wrote us in English, so I'm going to write him back myself, but I really need to find somebody who can help me figure out what to tell him.

Basically, he wants to talk to somebody about font or language presentation on the Help Page. If he were writing about the English Wikipedia, I'd send him to the Village Pump. Is there a similar forum on the Myanmar Wikipedia where people congegrate to discuss the way the project works? Where would you go on that project if you wanted to talk about something like that?

If you can answer that for me, with links, I'd be very grateful. :) I think I have little chance of figuring it out on my own, at least not until Google translate can make an effort at Myanmar! I'll check back. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:34, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moonriddengirl, you can refer back to my:Wikipedia:စုစည်းဆွေးနွေးရာ which is the general meeting of Myanmar Wikipedians in Burmese language. Most of the active Myanmar Wikipedians can be found there. Currently, Myanmar Wikipedia and Wikitionary are the only active projects in Burmese language. If you are finding for Myanmar Wikipedians who are contributing for English, you can find them in Wikiproject Burma. And we use standard Unicode fonts of cause though there are many different encodings for different Burmese fonts. This is Myanmar Unicode font list. Please feel free to ask me anything about Burmese. Thanks. @== { Lion sla yer>       ☎    15:57, 9 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, thank you so much! That seems to be exactly what I need. If he comes back with more questions, I hope you won't mind my taking you up on your offer. :) I approached you not only because you are multilingual, but because I knew from your userpage that you were actually active on the Myanmar Wikipedia. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Confusion between Marma and Maramagyi/Maramagree
It seems that Mr. Lionslayer who edited the wiki page "Marma People", on 24 August 2013, has confused between the Marma people of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) and the so-called Maramagyi or Maramagree people of Arakan State in Myanmar.

The Marma people are actually Arakanese (Rakhine) descendants who live in CHT since 16th century. They are Theravada Buddhists who speak Arakanese (Rakhine) language. They have been recorded as Magh or Mog people by the British referring an ancient name for Arakanese seafarers who controlled various parts of the Bay of Bengal during the medieval times. Those Arakanese people in CHT were recorded as Hill Maghs or Jumia Maghs in British censuses, differently categorized from Magh [Rakhine] people who resided in the plains of Bangladesh. And, they have been known in Bangladesh as Magh/Mog people until 1980s when their name was changed to "Marma" by their circle chief Bohmong Maung Shwe Prue (the reason, Magh Bengali language refers to "notorious pirates"). After that Arakanese people living in the plains of Bangladesh are known as "Rakhaings" and Arakanese from CHT (hill tracts) are known as "Marmas".

There is nothing to do with these Arakanese descendants (Marmas) and those people who are known as "Maramagree" who are now living in Arakan State. Maramagree people are known as "Barua People" in Bangladesh. They speak Chittagonian dialect of the Bengali language and their faith is Theravada Buddhism. Ethnically, they are Bengali descendants. According to 1982 citizenship law, they were officially recognized as one of the 135 official national races of Myanmar along with Kaman Muslims from Arakan because they seem to have been settled in Arakan before the first Anglo-Burman War.

In Bangladesh and Tripura State of India, those Barua people are claiming as "Barua Maghs" with an ambition to get a scheduled tribal status like other indigenous ethnic groups. Their use of the word "Magh" (in Bangladesh and India side) is making a confusion between those Barua people and Arakanse descendants of CHT (Jumia Maghs/ now- Marmas) & Arakanese people of Tripura (Mogs); at the same time, their Burmanized name "Maramagree" (in Myanmar side) made people of Myanmar confused them with the Marma people.

In conclusion, the "Marma people" of Chittagong Hill Tracts are Arakanese descendants (who speak Arakanese language) and the "Maramagree people" who live now in Arakan State are the Buddhist Barua people of Bengali descents (who speak Chittagonian dialect of the Bengali language).

These two communities are totally different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackxrays (talk • contribs) 04:30, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

ESEAP Conference 2018
Hello Lionslayer,

I’m Irvin from PhilWiki Community, a member of the Communication Committee of the ESEAP Conference. ESEAP Conference 2018 is a regional conference for Wikimedia communities throughout the ESEAP region: ESEAP stands for East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific. Taking place in Bali, Indonesia on 5–6 May 2018, this is the first regional conference for these Wikimedia communities.

East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most under-represented regions within the Wikimedia community. There is a significant number of Wikimedia contributors in our regions, yet we continue to struggle in establishing a well-managed community. This conference will bring participants from various ESEAP communities together in order to better understand the issues and to look for solutions. It also aims to connect people of the Wikimedia movement within ESEAP regions, to share ideas, and to build regional collaborations that are impossible to achieve through online communication.

We’ve got a lot of participation from several countries, but we’re lacking from your country. As we need more participants from your country, we believe that your contribution and participation would be a valuable asset to the success of this event. If you would like to participate in the conference, please do fill the form as soon as possible (by April 5, 2018) and we’ll inform you if you get selected for the conference.

Thank you and we hope to see you soon. --Filipinayzd 15:59, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
