Burmese is spoken by about 45 million people worldwide and is the official language in Myanmar, or Burma. Contemplate 4,000 sacred stupas (mounded structures containing Buddhist relics) scattered across the plains of Bagan. Stare in disbelief at the golden rock teetering impossibly on the edge of a chasm. Encounter men wearing skirt-like longyi, women smothered in thanaka (traditional make-up) and betel-chewing grannies with blood red juices dripping from their mouths — and that’s just the airport! Meet the multitalented monks who have taught their cats to jump. Ride a Wild West stagecoach past grand British mansions. Trade jokes about the rulers who move capitals on the whim of a fortune teller. Indeed, this is Burma.

Burmese is also spoken in parts of Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

Here are some of the basic Burmese phrases that you might use:

• K'amyà ne-kaùn-yéh-là? (How are you?)
• Min ga la ba! (Hello!)
• Kan kaung ba zay! (Good luck!)
