[edit] Geography

  • Kalemyo has its own airport article, but not the town
  • Kandawgalay Ward
Is Kandawgalay perhaps "Kandawgyi Lake", a man-made lake in Rangoon? Chris 20:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure of that, but galay means children, and kandaw means lake, so it may be the name of Scout troops in Rangoon.--Hintha 00:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you! I do get bunches of Google hits on it, it almost seems to be the old name of a georgaphical section of Rangoon. Or, going from what you said, maybe it's what the Burmese Scouts called their Sea Scout program? Chris 04:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Kandawgalay is the name of a township/ward in Yangon. It is located near Yangon Zoo and Kandawgyi Lake.Okkar 16:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
It's a ward, because there is no township with that name in Yangon. --Hintha 04:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

  • what would you folks think of the idea of a subcategory to Burmese people for [[category:Burmese democracy activists]] or [[category:Burmese political dissidents]] or something similar? There are many Burmese bios that read like that, but have nothing to bind them together. Chris 20:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
there is an existing [[Category:Democracy activists]], but I want it to be more specific the our immediate project and that particular sad history.

[edit] Language requests

Language requests in local languages of Myanmar, including Burmese, Shan, and Karen. Project members are encouraged to add {{Burmese}} to pages to identify them as in need of language addition by the project.

Is there a Shan font available on the Wikipedia? Chris 02:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Not currently, but an image would suffice while Unicode support for Shan is still not available. --Hintha 03:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
