Transcribing Chinese into Myanmar (Burmese) Script

Abstract

We propose a transcription system for Chinese into Burmese script. We design the system based on the phonology of Chinese and the orthography of Myanmar, referring other established Chinese transcription systems, i.e. the Pinyin system and the Palladius system. The Pinyin system transcribes Chinese into the Latin alphabet and the Palladius system transcribes Chinese into the Cyrillic alphabet. Our aim is to provide a system transcribing Chinese into the Burmese script. We hope our work may promote the cultural exchange of China and Myanmar.
