The term "Burman" typically refers to the ethnic group native to Myanmar, also known as Burma. They are the largest ethnic group in the country, making up about two-thirds of the population. The Burman people primarily speak the Burmese language and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional music, dance, and festivals. Burman culture is heavily influenced by Buddhism, which plays a significant role in their daily lives and customs. The majority of Burmans practice Theravada Buddhism, and this is reflected in their architecture, art, and community activities. The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is one of the most important religious sites for the Burman people.
