Taungtha people
- ... that the Taungtha, an unrecognized ethnic group of Myanmar, claim descent from the Pyu during the reign of the legendary King Thamoddarit of Pagan? See (Eleven Media Group 2020-05-09) for them being an unrecognized ethnic group; See (Myanmar Digital News) for their claim from Thamoddarit. Both sources are in Burmese.
Created by Hintha (talk). Nominated by Hybernator (talk) at 03:21, 16 May 2020 (UTC).
- @Hintha and Hybernator: Because Thamoddarit may not be a familiar name to most readers, would it be a good idea to mention that he was a founder of a dynasty in the hook, to add context? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, Pagan and Pyu people added for additional context. (Thamoddarit, according to legend, was a Pyu royal from Sri Ksetra Kingdom who left for what is now central Myanmar, and founded Pagan (Bagan). The Taungtha claim they are of Pyu descent, not of Pagan (or Bamar/Burman) descent.) Hybernator (talk) 04:10, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
