Language requests

Language requests in local languages of Myanmar, including Burmese, Shan, and Karen. Project members are encouraged to add {{Burmese}} to pages to identify them as in need of language addition by the project.

• Tip Htila's name in both Shan and Burmese

Is there a Shan font available on the Wikipedia? Chris 02:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Not currently, but an image would suffice while Unicode support for Shan is still not available. --Hintha 03:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC) Unicode 5.1 now supports Shan, as part of the minority scripts based on the Burmese alphabet. Unicode 5.1 also supports Mon, 2 dialects of Karen and another minority language I can't recall now.--Hintha (talk) 05:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• Bo Mya's name in Karen
• Translation request of the French interwiki of Literature of Burma, found here: Littérature birmane. The French version is extensive and far more detailed than the one found on the English Wikipedia.--Hintha (talk) 05:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
