Burmese diaspora refers to citizens of Burma (Myanmar) who have moved abroad, regardless of ethnicity. Burma contains over 100 different ethnic groups, though the term "Burmese" can be used to refer to the Bamar ethnicity.[citation needed] Between 1.5 and 2 million Burmese nationals live in neighboring Thailand, the largest destination. Some half a million work in Malaysia.[1] Many were minorities in Burma. Significant numbers also reside in United Kingdom; Tokyo, Japan; followed by Singapore; Indonesia; Australia; India; Scotland; Ireland and the United States.
Also included are many Anglo-Burmese, primarily in Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the US.
