Burmese

Very few people with Burmese as their first language speak anything else. However, many educated people speak Burmese as a second language. Burmese script is distantly related to Sanskrit and is read from left to right. The language is spoken in Burma (Myanmar), Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand among other places.

Prior to translation and interpretation

Before ordering a translation or interpreter, it is a good idea to know which country the translated material will be used in and which country the person to be interpreted comes from. This is particularly important for translations into languages which are spoken in many different countries, since the same language may be written differently and in some cases with different alphabets.
