Burmese
Burmese also known as Burman (Bamar) is the largest ethnic group in Myanmar (Burma).
The Burmese are of East Asian descent, having origins in present-day Tibet, and are thought to have migrated from the steppes of present-day Mongolia. They migrated 3,000 years ago to the lower valleys of the Ayeyarwady River, an area they ethnically dominate today. They are ethnolinguistically related to the Tibetans and the Chinese. The Bamar largely replaced the Mon and the earlier Pyu, ethnic groups that originally dominated the region.
