Actually it would. Lots of countries change their name, it's kind of baffling that this site seems to have an official position against accepting the name change of Myanmar... I mean, yes, it was changed by the junta in power. How does that make it different than every single other country on Earth?

Actually, that would change it. For example, the Ivory Coast is not the name of a country. The nation of Cote d'Ivoire actively discourages using that name and has declared by law that it is not right. Therefore, the name of the country is Cote d'Ivoire, not Ivory Coast.

For what it's worth: I worked for a time on the Thai-Burma border for groups opposing the government. For the last few years, I have also worked with members of the Karen community in Canada, virtually none of whom are politically active but all of whom oppose the Burmese government. In both cases, I've never heard anyone refer to the country from which they come as "Myanmar." The people I've known don't represent everyone. For them, it's a political choice, for sure.

Mostly the generations born before name switch refer to it as "Burma" within the country. The name will likely eventually become obsolete. Kind of makes sense, as to me it appears as another example of decolonization, similar to Ceylon becoming Sri Lanka. I realize that a military junta changed the name, but I any type of government could have done the same, at least eventually.

Here's my take on it: Burma was pretty much the British colonial name. Myanmar is recognized as the official name by Wikipedia and the EU. The National Geographic map on the wall says "Myanmar". People just don't like to call it Myanmar because the name is "against democracy". Okay, so during the Cold War we don't call it the USSR, since it's against democracy? It just doesn't make sense. Last time I checked, one Parliament member cannot singlehandedly rename a country.

Persia(n Empire) was much larger than Iran though. Around half of Hispaniola is the Dominican Republic so you'd be wrong to refer to Haiti that way. The people living on the Falklands, whether you think it is an outdated piece of British colonialism or not, are overwhelmingly happy to remain as they are, rather than become the Malvinas under the administration of Argentina.

Yes, but in Polish and Russian Hispaniola is called Haiti,
I know that name of island is Hispaniola,
that Haiti had 10 more times people [sic]
than Dominican Republic in early XIX century (0.8m to 0.08m),
now Haiti has less people (9.89m to 10.017m).
Dominican Republic was once called Spanish Haiti.
Island was called Haiti ("Mountainous Land") by the Taíno.
So I don't refuse naming island neither Haiti nor Hispaniola.

The Persians and Arabs referred to it as Sarandīb
(the origin of the word "serendipity") from the word Cerentivu.
Ceilão, the name given to Sri Lanka
by the Portuguese Empire when it arrived in 1505,
was transliterated into English as Ceylon.
Sri Lanka is name of country,
but Ceylon is name of main island in Polish.
More can I say that Sri Lanka include islands around main island
(e.g. Mannar Island), so now name of main island
can't be distinguished from name of all islands.
It should be distinguished politics from geography.

As others have said, it is most likely due to the US not recognising the change of name. Our Quizmaster agrees with that opinion, so this site still uses Burma. If more Burmese people agreed with the change, rather than the ones with guns, I'm sure their standing among nations would change and Myanmar would be a more universally-accepted term.

Actually the people of Myanmar/Burma are split between the name, with the younger generations more in favour of the name "Myanmar", while the older generations generally are more likely to call it "Burma". However, as the name changed close to 30 years ago, Myanmar is more widely in use now, (and not just by the people with guns, unless they make up slightly more than half the total countries population).

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

In any view you hold on countries, the most important rule is to leave politics out of it. If someone controls a region or has a greater historical claim to the land, they choose what it's called. The military regime controlling Myanmar...well, it controls Myanmar, like it or not. Leave the politics to countries and their leaders, but it should influence your geographical views as little as possible. If President Trump declared that the U.S. will henceforth refer to China as Commie Land, no one would go along with it. The United States can cover its eyes and say there's no such thing as Myanmar, but that doesn't change the truth.

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.

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.

There are several countries that have two titles that seem acceptable to good amounts of the populace. Ie: East Timor, Ivory Coast etc., so just get in the habit of adopting BOTH names for quizzes, means you get it right and you can use either name easily.

Imho countries shouldn't get to rewrite history again and again, reprinting geography & history textbooks around the world seems like an unfair expense! Tomato/Tomatoe let's call the whole thing off!

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

Why is everyone arguing over the "Burma/Myanmar"??? People call it both, so I think it was a smart idea to put it already filled in. Personally, I wouldn't have gotten it, since I call the country Myanmar, so good job quiz master, for using common sense! Also, please stop rambling on and on about how Burma shouldn't be on there.

I was explaining once to my students in Saudi Arabia why they were wrong about the name of Alexandria. In Arabic they call this city Al Iskandria. And Alexander they call Iskander. I explained that this is due to a poor translation. In Arabic, of course, "Al" is an article commonly found at the beginning of many different words and names. But the man's name is Alexander (or Aléxandros), not Al Iksander (or Iskander). Turning the first part of his name in to an article is a mistranslation. It would be like if I went back to the USA and told everyone there about how we went to the desert to this placed called "The Mamma." (there is a popular spot in the desert near Riyadh called "Thumama")

Not related. Just an anecdote I find amusing.
