Myanmar language study resources (2)



I previously posted a list of Myanmar language study resources useful for early stage learners. The following list includes links to online Myanmar language and literature study resources useful for more advanced learners.

1. The Myanmar Literature Project managed by Hans-Bernd Zöllner includes information, reviews, translations and original manuscripts of texts published by the Nagani Book Club between 1937 and 1941.

2. Jon Fernquest's Burmese Language and Literature webpage. Contains information, bibliographies of Myanmar authors and Myanmar language transcripts.

3. Myanmar E-Library, a broad collection of Myanmar language books in digital format.

4. John Okell and Anna Allott's very useful Burmese/Myanmar Dictionary of Grammatical Forms, via Google Books.

5. Nance Cunningham's page of Burmese/Myanmar language resources. Includes files and directions for installing a Myanmar Unicode keyboard loosely based on sounds for the QWERTY keyboard.

6. The Shwe O database of over 700 online Myanmar movies.

Re No. 5, unfortunately that page has expired. However, I have started a facebook page about translation and slang. If you search for ”ဗန်းစကား Myanmar slang and new words“ in facebook it should come up. Font information is on there as well.

Also, perhaps it is worth mentioning the မြန်မာ wikipedia at my.wikipedia.org, though it is not meant as a learning tool, it is useful.
