 | | The Myanmas, also known as Bamas or Burmans, are the descendants of Tibeto-Burman speaking tribes from the highlands north of India and Yunnan that settled in the central plain in the early 9th century after the Pyu kingdom had been destroyed by the Nanzhao hegemony. | | | The Burmans have adopted Therevada Buddhism which they learned from the Mon but they did not abandon their ancient deities which they call "Nats". | | | The Mon state endured, however, until it was finally subjugated by the Burmans in 1757. |

| | The same is the case with Kachin and some Nagg dialects, while the remaining Tibeto-Burman languages apparently agree with such Tibetan dialects as are devoid of tones. | | | The Tibeto-Burman family comprises a long series of dialects spoken from Tibet in the north to Burma in the south, and from the Ladkh wathrat of Kashmir in the west to the Chinese provinces of Sze-chuen and Yunnan in the east. | | | The development 01 tones in many dialects was probably counteracted by the influence of the speech of the former inhabitants whom the Tibeto-Burman found in possession of the country when they invaded their present habitat. |
