Burma/Myanmar: A young Bamar/Burman boy at Sagaing near Mandalay. The Bamar, also called Burman, are the dominant ethnic group of Burma (Myanmar), constituting approximately two-thirds of the population. The Bamar live primarily in the Irrawaddy basin, and speak the Burmese language, which is also the official language of Burma. Bamar customs and identity are closely intertwined with general Burmese customs and identity. The Bamar are frequently but inaccurately called Burmese, a term that in modern usage refers to a citizen of Burma of any ethnic background.
