This article is about a person, place, or concept whose name is originally rendered in the Burmese script; however the article does not have that version of its name in the article's lead paragraph. Anyone who is knowledgeable enough with the original language is invited to assist in adding the Burmese script. In addition, depending on the subject matter, the name may also need to be rendered in other local languages, such as Shan or Karen, and help of this nature is greatly appreciated and most welcomed. For more information, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Burmese).

I've just made a few grammatical and spelling changes to the article (which i think could still do with a bit of a tidy up but i'm not really an expert on the topic). I also removed a section refering to the foul trade of dealing in endangered animal parts because, while i agree that it is indeed a foul trade, this is a POV and therefore has no place in an encyclopedia.
