Burma is considered a culturally diverse country. The complexicity of the diversity is interesting and it is also fascinating. Once you dive into a domain of diversity, multiple sub-element emerges.

We encompass different values, beliefs, norms and beauty.

There are 8 main ethnicities in the country; Kachin, Kayah, Karen, Chin, Mon, Burmese, Rakhine and Shan. Wait, that is not all. There are many different sub-ethnicities. Shan, for example, was historically ruled by 33 different Saopoa (a term in Shan language meaning local governors), therefore can be seen as 33 sub ethnicities; Kokang, Danu, Ta'ang, Palong, Lahu, Wa, MawShan, Pao to name a few.

You think this is alot of sub-ethnicities. What about if I say that up to 53 sub-ethnicities can be seen in Chin; Salai, Naga, KlinKaw, Kumi, Tedim, Matu to name a few.

Lets talk about Kachin. Depending on who we ask we get the answer between 6 to 12 sub-ethnicities. To name a few, they are Jainhpaw, Rawan, Rongow, LaChit to name a few.

Karen and Rakhine are also pretty diverse. To name a few; Arakan, Myo, Tat for Rakhine and S'gaw, Poe, P'Ku for Karens.

What about majority Burmese? It also have some diversities. Nine different sub-burmese ethnicities are known so far. Burmese, Yaw, Salone, DaWay, Gadu, Taung Tar, GaNan, Myate, Poan.

Mon, however, has one sub-ethnicity only which is Mon :)

Ok. This is as far as we can wrap out heads around 🥸🥵😶😭😶🤯🤯🤯. Let's move onto the fun part. Let's see some of the ethnic costumes that we can get our hands on.
