Can anyone tell me what is the proper name for someone from Burma? is it Burmese, Burman etc??? Also what about someone from Laos?

Should be Burmese and Laotian

I think it's Myanmaryan ... and Laos = Laotion..

lol I do watch it but I havent' heard anything that would answer my questions :P
I noticed on some maps it says Burma and on other it says Myanmar so I was really confused.

Myanmar is the old name

WTF? I thought Burma was the old name??

Or that..


lol i don't know anymore

i think burma is the old name and myanmar is the new name.

like there are the ethnic burmese and ethnic mons. the mons are the originals and the burmese swamp the mons and took over and gain dominance... and the country was change from burma to myanmar to better represent and myanmar means... ???

anyways i met a burmese man before he look typical southeast asian. does myanmar have a closer connection with india or sooutheast asian states? like who do they associate with more etc?

I have a sattelite that pics up stations from mid east, fareast southeast some euro.. the Myamarans look like dark skinned Chinese to me.. :genius:

MAYBE ALL THE JEWISH FORTUNE THAT WAS CONFISCATED WAS SHIP TO SWIZERLAND....

Yes I think so, I heard Saddam had about 5 billion dollars in Swiss accounts, this was in the late 80's

Well shouldn't there be a section in AF for people from Burma/Myanmar? I mean they are Asian, and the guy I know from there I thought was Thai or Khmer when I first met him.
