  • Some Documented Cases of Linguistic Change
    APPENDIX I SOME DOCUMENTED CASES OF LINGUISTIC CHANGE 1. Jinghpaw become Shan The first European to visit Hkamti Long (Putao) was Wilcox in 1828. He recorded of the Shan area that 'the mass of the labouring population is of the Kha-phok tribe whose dialect is closely allied to the Singpho'. Other non-Shan dependents of the Shans were the Kha-lang with villages on the Nam Lang 'whose language more nearly resembles that of the Singpho than that of the Nogmung tribe who are on the Nam Tisang'. The prefix 'Kha-' in Hkamti Shan denotes a serf: 'phok' (hpaw) is a term applied by Maru and Hkamti Shans to Jinghpaw. Kha-phok therefore means 'serf Jinghpaw'. In 1925 Barnard described Hkamti Long as he knew it. He noted that the Shan population included a substantial serf class (lok hka) divided into various 'tribes' which he supposes to have been of Tibetan origin, but he remarks: 'I have not been able to obtain even a small vocabulary of their language as they have been absorbed into the Shans whose language and dress they have completely adopted.' It would appear that Barnard's lok hka must include the descendants of Wilcox's Kha-phok and Kha-lang. The inhabitants of 'the villages on the Nam Lang' now speak Shan; but the Jinghpaw-speaking population on the other side of the Mali Hka-who call them­ selves Duleng-claim to be related to these 'Shans' of the Nam Lang. Of the Nogmung, Barnard recorded: '(They) are gradually being absorbed by the Shans .

  • Bonn Zoological Bulletin Supplementum Vol. 62 (2015)
    Titel_BzM_2015(62)_Titel BZB 26.3.03 Kopie 2 20.08.15 20:23 Seite 1 Summary Bonn zoological Bulletin – Supplementum This monograph provides significant new insights into the biology and biogeography of the birds that inhabit the northernmost tip of Myanmar. The area’s hill jungle is largely untouched by humans and has not been visited by ornithologists since the late 1940s. Even today, this jungle can be considered a primary forest in the literal sense and a “white map” area for most biodiversity. During our recent visits to this extraordinary, species-rich area we compiled an inventory of the avifauna that includes records of more than 440 species. Although the area inventoried covers only about one per- Bonn zoological Bulletin cent of the land surface of Myanmar, the species reported in the inventory include endemics as well as globally threatened taxa and represent more than a third of all known bird species from the Supplementum Vol. 62 (2015) country. By evaluating in detail the subspecific relationships of the formerly: Bonner zoologische Monographien Hkakabo Razi rainforest avifauna, we conclude that the bird avifau- na community of northern Myanmar is most similar to the one Avifauna of the found in the avifauna of the temperate rainforests of northeastern India.

Genetically, they belong to the Jingpho-Asakian (Jingpho-Luish) branch of Tibeto-Burman (Matisoff 2013). While the exact number of Jingpho speakers is unknown due to a lack of accurate census data, estimates range be- tween 630,000 (Bradley 1996) and 940,000 (Lewis et al. 2014). The Jingpho, together with such peoples as the Lhaovo, Lachid, Zaiwa, Rawang and Lisu, form an ethnic group in Burma called the “Kachin”. Although the standard dialect of Jingpho is widely used by both native and non-native speakers, many of the other Jingphoish languages and dialects are in danger of disappearing due to speakers shifting to the dominant languages in the area, such as Standard Jingpho, Burmese in Burma, Chinese in China and Assamese in India. This paper provides the phonological inventories and syllable structures of seven Jing- phoish languages and dialects from northern Burma, southwestern China and northeastern India.

  • Myanmar Situation Update (31 May - 6 June 2021)
    Myanmar Situation Update (31 May - 6 June 2021) Summary The National Unity Government (NUG) held its very first press conference on Friday 4 June. The junta shut down the internet between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m to disrupt that press conference being held by the parallel government. The NUG said that it will announce a national D-Day to fight the military junta when the time is ripe at its press conference. The COVID-19 control collapsed after the coup as many health workers joined a civil disobedience movement to protest against the junta. COVID-19 infections have resurfaced in Myanmar amid post-coup turmoil with 767 new cases being found and seven deaths in the past seven days. The military junta has imposed stay-at-home orders on half of the Chin State’s townships as well as Kalay, Sagaing State. On 1 June, the junta forced the start of the new school year across the country. No more than a quarter of Myanmar's 12 million pupils enrolled for the new school year amid a protest boycott against military rule and in the wake of a series of bombings, an official of Myanmar Teachers’ Federation said. Security forces stood guard at some schools and brought pupils under armed escort from their homes1. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the chief of the coup, met with Brunei's Second Minister for Foreign Affairs Erywan Pehin Yusof and ASEAN Secretary General Lim Jock Hoi in Naypyitaw on Friday 4 June. He told ASEAN envoys elections will only come after the country returns to ‘normal’.

Organizational formation of Kachin administrative pattern, different nature of judicial administration, different classification between criminal cases and civil suits are also discussed. The laws, regulations, rulings and judgments of some important orders were issued by senior Kachin elders. Before colonial administration was well set up, there appeared three Kachin administrative systems: Gumchying Gumtsa, Gumsa and Gumlau . Pros and cons of this local ruling system was the most complicated in nature. During the Colonial Period, Kachin administrative pattern was dominated by the customary law. This dissertation also examines the continuities and changes of legal administration, status of ruling class and society.

Peluso, Chair Professor Michael Watts Professor Louise Fortmann Professor You-Tien Hsing Fall 2017 The War to Rule: Ceasefire Capitalism and State-Making in Burma’s Borderlands © 2017 by Kevin Woods Abstract The War to Rule: Ceasefire Capitalism and State-Making in Burma’s Borderlands by Kevin Woods Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Nancy L. Peluso, Chair In March 2011, the world watched as Burma’s first civilian-led government in six decades took office. The transition of power in Burma brought hope for an end to crippling poverty and the world’s longest running civil war. In the resource-rich forests of Burma’s uplands however, the story was not one of peace, but of war continued by other means. The “war to rule” – the fight to bring rebel frontier landscapes and ethnic minority populations under control of the lowland state – continued, and this time the embrace of markets and foreign capital started to accomplish what a century of counter-insurgency was never able to achieve. This dissertation summarizes nine years of study on the agrarian political ecology of violence and state-making in northern Burma’s rebel frontier from the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s to the present day.
