Hi, I am a Burmese and edit/create for Burmese/Myanmar relative articles.
[edit] Personal
Thanks to non-Burmese who edit/create Burmese articles in wikipedia. Burmese/Burma related articles are very fiew due to 42 millions Burmese inside Myanmar did not have internet access.
Now, there are many oversea Burmese youth. Hope, oversea Burmese/Myanmar will start to contribute as pioneer.

Burmese Hla Pe [retired Burmese Professor - University of London, UK in 1948-1980]. He did a Burmese-English dictionary project which was now transferred to Myanmar University. His group [~3 person] completed 5 volumns dictionary each 80 page [9 x 12 inch size]. As per his article, British contributors are C.W. Dunn, J.S. Furnival, J.A. Stewart, G.H.Luce [France], Charles Duroiselle, R. Halliday [US Rev. ] and A.C. Hanna [US Rev.]. I think, Hla Pe worked at Mr Justin Watkins department @ University of London.
As Professor Hla Pe mentioned, one of Oxford Dictionary editor T.C.Onions said "A lexicographer's life is a dog's life, but a lexicographer generally lives to an old age". Yes, I admire lexicographers.
