Spelling of Name[edit]

This entry should be deleted. I don't delete anything, even though I created this entry. I'll leave that to the editor.

The problem here is that Encyclopedia Britannica uses "Minkyinyo" whereas the foremost scholar on the subject professor Lieberman a University of Michigan uses "Mingyinyo". I've followed his lead in the papers I've published.

Perhaps there should be a redirect from "Mingyinyo" to a "Minkyinyo" entry. This is going to be an issue with the names of many historicalpersonages in Burma since spellings vary by author. For example, Aung-Thwin's "Dhammazedi" versus Charney's "Dhammacetti". When the Burmese language gets added to the unicode engine we can easily add the name in Burmese alphabet which should be how it is done anyway.
