Since Wikipedia is used here, let's see what it has to say: Burma, officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, commonly shortened to Myanmar...

Both it's official and common names include Myanmar, and neither include Burma

Level 53
Jan 3, 2015
All this talk about Burma versus Myanmar was irritating me, so I did some research into it. Burma refers to the largest ethnic group in the country, and is the written or literary name of the country. In languages like Burmese they have different versions of words for when they are written and when they are spoken. Myanmar is the spoken variant of the country's name. The official name of the country was the "Union of Burma" until 1989, but has since been changed to the "Union of Myanmar" and is now the "Republic of the Union of Myanmar." Myanmar was chosen as its official name to avoid singling out the minority ethnic groups of the country. Myanmar is its official name. Burma is accepted as a variant of the name. All this being said, if it were I would include Burma in the B quiz and Myanmar in the M quiz to avoid the dispute. :D

Myanmar is the new name forced onto Burma. It's been debated so much that it's better to just include it.
+1
Level 46
Aug 26, 2017
Aesthus, Historical claim and control of the region are completely conflicting. Burma's government has historical claim to name the country, no? Because historically they have been in charge, however the vicious military regime has control of the area, so who gets to name it? Pick one or the other man, you can't have both.
+1
Level 52
Oct 11, 2017
Real tangible control overrides historicity, but there are cases where clear tangible control is a hotly debated topic (such as whether Palestine controls their claimed territories) and this is where historicity becomes important. Hence, Myanmar, but also hence, no Palestine.

Myanmar or Burma.....Myanmar was imposed by the military against the wishes of the population in 1989. They changed the names of lots of towns too, to get rid of the old colonial past. Opposing parties and most older locals still use Burma. Both names come from the local tribes that were found there, and its been called Birma and Barma over the years. Aung San Suu Kyi says either is ok as there isnt anything in the countries constitution that says what the countries name actually is.

I guess she should know better than most.

Lots of countries changed the names of places, Kolkotta, Mumbai are just a couple, but they were basically using the local language version of the "English" name.. we all know that loosely speaking, Holland means The Netherlands...

it's one of those awkward ones that i wouldnt use in a vocal pub quiz, and in a thing like this, filling in the space (as Quizmaster has done) should stop people trying to look for an answer that isnt there
