Shan States
The Shan States (1885–1948) were a collection of minor Shan kingdoms called ''muang'' whose rulers bore the title ''saopha'' in British Burma. They were analogous to the princely states of British India. The term "Shan States" was first used during the British rule in Burma as a geopolitical designation for certain areas of Burma (officially, the Federated Shan States, which included the Karenni States, consisted of today's Shan State and Kayah State). In some cases, the Siamese Shan States was used to refer to Lan Na (northern Thailand) and Chinese Shan States to the Shan regions in southern Yunnan such as Xishuangbanna. Historical mention of the Shan states inside the present-day boundaries of Burma began during the period of the Pagan Dynasty; the first major Shan State of that era was founded in 1215 at Mogaung, followed by Mone in 1223. These were part of the larger Tai migration that founded the Ahom Kingdom in 1229 and the Sukhothai Kingdom in 1253. Shan po ...

Myoza
Myoza or Myosa ( my, မြို့စား}) is a high-ranking royal title and position for Burmese royalty and nobility. History The monarch had all the power to control everything in the kingdom. Below the monarch rank, minor queens, princes, princess, relatives of the royal family, nobles, ministers, and court officials had to own the major towns that represented a certain region. Since the Pagan era of the 11th century, each and every single member of the royal family received the title of ''Myosa'' (also ''Myoza''), literally means "chief of town or territory", which is nearly equivalent to the title of Duke. All royals were given the honor of possessing at least one territory by the King. They were all mostly known by their possessions. For instance, Burma's last king, King Thibaw was called by his possession, when he was a prince, of a town called Thibaw (Hsipaw in Shan State). Depending on their rank, royals and nobles were required to own towns. The younger children of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Burma
Myanmar, ; UK pronunciations: US pronunciations incl. . Note: Wikipedia's IPA conventions require indicating /r/ even in British English although only some British English speakers pronounce r at the end of syllables. As John Wells explains, the English spellings of both Myanmar and Burma assume a non-rhotic variety of English, in which the letter r before a consonant or finally serves merely to indicate a long vowel: mjænmɑː, ˈbɜːmə So the pronunciation of the last syllable of Myanmar as ɑːror of Burma as ɜːrməby some speakers in the UK and most speakers in North America is in fact a spelling pronunciation based on a misunderstanding of non-rhotic spelling conventions. The final ''r'' in ''Myanmar'' was not intended for pronunciation and is there to ensure that the final a is pronounced with the broad ''ah'' () in "father". If the Burmese name my, မြန်မာ, label=none were spelled "Myanma" in English, this would be pronounced at the end by all ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1901 Census Of India
The Census of India prior to independence was conducted periodically from 1865 to 1941. The censuses were primarily concerned with administration and faced numerous problems in their design and conduct ranging from the absence of house numbering in hamlets to cultural objections on various grounds to dangers posed by wild animals to census personnel. The censuses were designed more for social engineering and to further the British agenda for governance than to uncover the underlying structure of the population. The sociologist Michael Mann called the census exercise "more telling of the administrative needs of the British than of the social reality for the people of British India". The differences in the nature of Indian society during the British Raj from the value system and the societies of the West were highlighted by the inclusion of "caste", "religion", "profession" and "age" in the data to be collected, as the collection and analysis of that information had a considerable i ...

Nam Teng
Teng River or Nam Teng is a river of Shan State, eastern Burma. It is a tributary of the Salween River. Course The river has its source in the Shan Hills north of Mongkung and flows roughly eastwards and then southwards past the towns of Kawnlang, Namsang and Langhko. A deep channel in the area of Langhko is called the Nam Teng canal and existed at least before 1906. The Teng River joins the Salween from the right side at the village of Ta-hsopteng in Langhko District. Legend River Teng is repeatedly mentioned in the traditional Shan folktale 'Nang Upem and Khun Samlaw', the latter a native of Keng Tawng according to the legend. Among other instances it is the place where Khun Samlaw met Nang Upem for the first time. When suffering Nang Upem bore a still-born son by the river, she cried and did not want to put the dead baby in the river for fear it would become a fish.
