Gay Dictionary Burmese

How to say gay in Burmese

Below are the words of our Burmese Gay Dictionary which includes some expressions of the LGBT community jargon. If you know any more, please, contact us. But first some information about the language and where it is spoken.

The Burmese language is the official language of Burma or Myanmar. It is a language belonging to the Sino-Tibetan family, written using its own alphabet, writing circles or fragments of circles. Today is spoken by 42 million people.

In Burma, homosexuality is condemned with imprisonment from 10 years to life imprisonment by a rule inherited from British colonial law. It is governed since independence by a military junta that despite losing elections refuses to step down. This old regime, in full decomposition, has not executed sentences against LGBT people in recent years. Despite being an extremely conservative society, it is appreciated in the big cities a climate of greater freedom, where there are same-sex couples living together and symbolic ceremonies are performed without penal consequences.
