To Ko MZW and like-minded friends,(Nyunt Shwe)

You said most of you do not know even how to type Burmese. If you can't, learn how to type it since Burmese is your mother tongue or the country's central (official) language. Nowadays everyone is using and praising Zawgyi font (I don't use it. Even Win Myanmar is not working properly with Mac.), and there are many and all are not that difficult to learn.

I have been learning English for more than four decades to improve my language skill and I never denounce English language itself, but what I am talking about is most of us think or believe if we write in English, oh, it gives us a sort of intelligentsia feelings or greatness. I said in my letter that English is only tool, but nothing more, to communicate with someone who could not speak Burmese or to learn knowledge through books and multi media.?

As you have said, yes we have many ethnicities, but you must learn and master the first (official, central) language. You can even get better chance or opportunity finding jobs than Burmans if you excel in both languages. English as second official language doesn't mean instantly that English must be a medium of communication among the entire citizens.?


Please change your mindset if you can. I am not a 'mahabamar type', but to compare with other ethnic languages, Myanmar/Burmese is well-developed language and it has rich literature both classic and modern. If you are an ethnic guy, you have to adapt it to reap all the benefit connecting with it. Myanmar/Burmese language is in fact in any sense no inferior to any language. If you agree or not, our religions (Buddhism, Christian, Hindu, and Muslim) have taught us to thank our benefactors. I guess you have acquired your basic or higher education from Myanmar/Burma. Your parents and your country of origin are true benefactors for you. No excuse will do replacing our main language.

If anyone still insist, I don't know how to type Burmese, that is stupidity and nothing more.

With Metta,

Nyunt Shwe

Most of us don’t know how to type in Burmese; and some of us don’t even apply for citizenship, and also I don’t think using English language to dialogue the Burmese politic is wrong, who care what they think of us.

Beside, multi ethnic nation like Burma, English should be second official language, its nothing to do with stepfather’ language or not because English’ is the language accumulate all knowledge around the world.



Take care,
