    Myanmar speakers can speak more tones,tunes,pronunciation than any other nations in the world.They can pronouce english,french,german,russian,japanese,chinese or any other languages by using their own language.For example,a korean or a thai can't pronounce french or german by using their own languages.It has universal versatile tongues and it can also bridge to any other tongues in the planet.I knew that after learning about 40 languages as a linguist.

      you can say "a-ma har, ar-yen hla dte" this is more polite, I was taught to not use the word "nin", very impolite to use "nin" or "ngar"(which translate "you" and "I" respectively), so you must use a proper pronouns instead of "you' or "I"

      I came from Thai
      When you say Shi I say si which doesn't have the Sh sound but still have the s sound. It's more simplified because it's faster to say and easier

    So if Myanmar is tonal, then how do you sing? Because your tone goes up and down while singing, how does one word keep it's meaning? Also, how do you show your emotions?!

    • @dashingmay
      @dashingmay 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      What do you mean? The word "ka" for example means to dance. In a high tone, it means "a car". So if a song lyrics say "she is dancing", you will easily know the meaning. Also Burmese don't label objects as he/she which makes it even easier.

    • @knyghtryder3599
      @knyghtryder3599 ปีที่แล้ว

      In tonal languages, the tones are not followed perfectly while singing , also most traditional Burmese songs are compromised of standard phrases / sayings /euphemisms and most are around select topics ie ancient royal patriotism, Buddhist stuff, love ballads and country life
      Just as it would be more difficult for you to clearly hear the words on a modern hip-hop or rock track
      Modern Burmese pop style music won't be as clear tonally /pronunciation wise compared to classic songs

    • @knyghtryder3599
      @knyghtryder3599 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also Burmese is not a very tonal language
      Burmese has really only 2-3 real tones the others are glottal stops and aspirations
      There are real tonal languages like Cantonese that start with 5-7 tones and in certain dialects hit 9+ , chaosan dialect has a similar number of tones but a preceding syllable's tone changes the tone of the next syllable causing constant tone rotation
      Then there are extremely tonal languages like Hmong and Miao which can have over 15 tones
      And generally languages with more tones have more proficient singers on average

      i also find middle chinese to sound like thai or vietnamese. mandarin is chinese with a lot of mongolian and turkic influence, that's why it sounds so different than other chinese languages that were not influenced by our northern and western neighbors.
      i personally don't think burmese sound like middle chinese. actually i think it's softer than thai or vietnamese but i might be biased coz i understand burmese.
