History
Borrowed, initially into British English, from Burmese မြန်မာ (mranma), the formal Burmese name of the main ethnic group in Myanmar; ဗမာ (ba.ma), from which Burma is derived, is the informal name. Both Burmese terms are also adjectives meaning "Burmese" (related to Myanmar/Burma, its, people, language, etc). Like the r in the word Burma, the r at the end of Myanmar was not originally pronounced (and is not present in the Burmese term), it is a vowel-lengthening device used by non-rhotic dialects; compare gorm.
