The Burmans are a Tibeto-Burman-speaking people living in the central plain of Burma (Myanmar). They are predominantly wet rice cultivating farmers, but also grow some cotton, maize, peanuts, onions and other crops. Historically, the Burmans had a powerful kingdom which unified and ruled much of Burma. They remain the dominant ethnic group of this nation, both demographically and politically.
