List Of Shan State Rulers
The Shan State, a state of Myanmar (also known as Burma), was once made up of a large number of traditional monarchies or fiefdoms. These are collectively known as Shan States. Ranks of rulers Three ranks of chiefs were recognized by the King of Burma and later by the British administration. These ranks were: #Saopha ( Shan for king or chieftain) or Sawbwa (in Burmese) #Myosa (Myoza), "duke" or chief of town. #Ngwegunhmu, silver revenue chief.
