Shan and Karenni States of Burma
Note: "Burma" before 1948 consisted of the British colonial
territory (covering the extinct kingdoms of "Burma," Talaing (Pegu), and
Arakan, as well as some minor lands), together with two groups of states,
whose status was similar to that of the Indian states: the Shan states
and the Karen states. "Shan" is a Burmese word, cognate with "Siam"; the
Shan states are
ethnically Tai, closely related to the majority population of Thailand;
for a time they formed the "Shan State" in independent Burma. The Karenni
states formed for a time the "Kayah State" in independent Burma (Map
of Shan States c.1910).
Shan (Tai) states
Note: In the interest of comprehensiveness, a number of states
are listed for which no record of rulers is available. The ruler of a major
Shan (Tai) state is styled saohpa (Burmese:
sawbwa); in minor
states the ruler may be styled myoza or
ngwegunhmu. Burmese
names of the
states are given in parentheses.
