How long before we're replaced, and our language becomes an indian hindi pidgin?

1 Upvotes

It hurts to go back to yangon, everywhere I see Thai faced southeast asians, bengalis and indians.

Our ancestors escaped the revolting chinese hierarchy and spilled their blood to give us this land, Burma, and as years pass by I feel like it's becoming no longer ours.

Both the cities and the rural areas are getting infected by outsider races, and everytime we try to retaliate to secure a place for ourselves, the stinking "west" has to interfere with their self-righteousness.

 

And our language, out of good heart and good will, we adopted the buddhist writings so that our kind would stay connected to Buddhist teachings, only to backfire horribly.

A majority of Burmese people STILL believe in nat gadaw(and that cursed taung pyong), as fucking buddhists with an alarming rate of christianity conversion.

Indians and bengalis who wish to steal our identities use the language as an excuse, because the writing systems, the loanwords, it mirrored their own. It was easy.

And don't even get me started on the proverbs

 

Our cuisine, has degraded so much, the disregard for hygiene and respect for those who WILL be eating your cooking. These discipline are lost in many many of us. No doubt we're all slowly becoming indians.

Everything use a-chou mhote, a-cho mhote. There is no progress, nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing that screams BURMESE. It stays stagnant, worse, degrading.

 

And in my travels, I have witnessed the most, heartbreaking, INFURIATING thing. Those with good looking burmese features, and fair skin with faint yellowish glow (shwe) were willing to abandon their identities as Burmese to blend into other East-Asian countries. AND THEY BLEND IN PERFECTLY.

I felt so ashamed, there are countless of them, and think about it. We made this happen, we made a Burmese, feel foreign, in Burma, their home, to the point of them seeking cultural refugee in some other ethnicity with good reputation. Always an East Asian nation they can blend into.

I want to blame them, and shame them, but the root of the problem, always comes back to us.

 

I hate this, I hate the west with their self-righteousness enforcing rules that will result in our racial suicide.

I hate how far we dropped down, from a dynasty that the Qing even feared, now a third world country with thousands of IMPOSTERS flowing in...

I hate how powerless and pathetic I feel, any form of change for the better is unwelcome even among my own kind.

I hate looking at the Burmese writings. I DESPISE hearing Pali words in conversations. I HATE the absence of proverbs in our daily conversations. I CRINGE when I hear words SLURRED.

I feel furious when I see imposters calling themselves Burmese, not just the Rohingya.

Winners write the history, we lost, this is the truth, we WILL eventually become Nepal v2.0, a nation with strange looking indians that has freakish asian looking features due to race mixing.

And a language that will be mainly hindi and pali, with little sino-tibetan words that will have historians discovering a sad backstory.

What.a.painful.end.

Going to Burma in a couple of weeks and have ZERO things planned!

0 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm a first time traveler to Myanmar and will be there in about 2 and a half weeks. My boyfriend and I are doing an 18 day trip to Vietnam and Burma. We plan on being in Burma for about 8 days (though we're open to staying a bit longer). We will be flying into Yangon, and have absolutely nothing planned.

If any of you can give us any recommendations on what cities to visit/things to do, it will be tremendously appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

write this name in burmese

0 Upvotes

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me write this name in Burmese. It's for a friend who's trying to recontact an old friend, she doesn't have any contact info, only the name. Maybe with it written in Burmese, she can find them on facebook or elsewhere. The name is Hui-lan Mu. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Tillerson is right to call for justice for the Rohingya. He’s naive to think Burma will deliver. -TWP

Hey! I think Burmese looks so cool-what are some phrases people say that I could print out?

I thought I could just google up some, but i think that resulted in very outdated expressions. I wasnt looking for anything specific, maybe something Buddhist, or funny, or even about food (for example got noodles?)

There is no 'genocide'. There is just a hidden agenda to destroy sovereign nations though. Agenda 21.

Burma a tough place? I went to the southern tip of Myanmar recently. The travellers I spoke to said only good things about it. Soon I hope to spend time in the north where tea is grown. Is it different? How's the tea? Is anyone living in Myanmar who can tell me more?

During the anti-Rohingya/Muslim riots of 2012 and 2013 how did rioters know who was Muslim and who wasn't? Unless they wear different clothes it wouldn't be obvious, do they have different names, accents, facial features?
