Burmese to English translation

Spoken by close to 40 million people, Burmese or Myanma Bhasa is a Sino-Tibetan language. It is the official language of Myanmar, where it is also the native language of the Bamar ethnic group who make up the country’s majority. While an estimated 33 million Bamars identify the language as their native language, nearly 10 million people, primarily ethnic minorities from Myanmar and other neighboring countries, identify it as their second language, making Burmese the lingua franca of the region. Burmese to English and English to Burmese translation services are important for businesses seeking better engagement with this ASEAN economy.

An emerging economy, Myanmar is rich in natural resources and minerals including petroleum, natural gas, copper, zinc, timber, and tin. Precious stones are one of its major export commodities, with the country producing more than 90 percent of the world’s rubies. Agricultural commodities, natural gas, and forest products are other major export industries.

The garment industry in Myanmar is also a crucial sector that attracts significant foreign direct investment and generates employment for thousands. However, only a small proportion of the population of Myanmar can speak English. Professional Burmese translation services can thus help in the success of your business with the country.
