Ainggyin (Burmese: အိုင်ချင်း, pronounced [ʔàɪɰ̃ dʑɪ́ɰ̃]) is a Burmese form of poetry which is often referred as a kind of folk-song.[1] Ainggyins are said to be the reflections of the rural culture of Burma.[2] Ainggyin was first started in the First Kingdom of Ava and later developed in the Nyaungyan period and continued to the Konbaung period.[3]

The Burmese word『အိုင်』("Aing"; pronounced [ʔàɪɰ̃]) refers to "Speaking out loud". Ainggyins are usually sung in groups by paddy transplanters.[4]
