Abstract

This manuscript provides general descriptions on transliteration of foreign words in the Burmese language. Phenomena caused by phonetic and orthographic issues are discussed. Based on this work, we expect to gradually establish prescriptive guidelines to normalize the transliteration on modern words in Burmese.

Keywords
