Myanmar is still often known as Burma. To avoid confusion, the name “Myanmar” is used to refer to the country from the time its name was officially changed by the military junta in 1989. When referring to the country's history prior to 1989, the name “Burma” is used. Where necessary, to preserve meaning and avoid confusion, both the former and official name will be used in tandem as “Burma/Myanmar”. Names in Myanmar are usually personal to the individual rather than following first name/surname conventions common to the West, so Myanmar names used in the body of the article and references are presented in full.
