From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taungyo (Burmese: တောင်ရိုး လူမျိုး Tauñyoù lumyoù) are a sub-ethnic group of the Bamar people living primarily in Shan State and centered on Pindaya.[1]
Language
[edit]
They speak Taungyo (တောင်ရိုးစကား Tauñyoùs̱áḵà), a Tavoyan dialect of the Burmese language.[2] Taungyo has 89% lexical similarity with standard Burmese, and is also closely related to Danu, Intha and Rakhine.[3]
A sample of Taungyo dialect vocabulary include the following:[2]
-
red - anak (အနီ)
-
high - amrang (အမြင့်)
-
eye - myak-sai (မျက်စေ့)
-
light - lang (လင်း)
