Grammar
of the
Burmese language.
Tue Burmese Language is written from left to right, and admits of no division between words. The Alphabet consists, correctly speaking, of Forty-four Letters; viz., thirty-four Consonants ဗျည်ံး byeenး, and ten Vowels သရ thără.
The Vowels are,
အ ă. အာ a. ဣ ie. ဤ ēē. ဥ or ဥိ ŏŏ. ဦ ōō. ဧ é. အဲ ey. ဩ or ဩော ăŭ. ဪ āū.
The Consonants are,
| က kă. | စ tsă. | ဋ ṭă. | တ tă. | ပ pă. | ယ yă. |
| ခ khă. | ဆ tshă. | ဌ hṭă. | ထ htă. | ဖ hpă. | ရ ră. |
