Kyawkku

Kyawkku (also known as Kyawkku Hsiwan or Kyakku) was a Shan state in the Myelat region of what is today Burma. Its capital was the village of Myinkyado.

Kyawkku was founded around 1600 CE. It was a tributary of Burma until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty.
