Burmese is classified broadly into two categories. One is formal, used in literary works, official publications, and radio broadcasts. The other is street, which is used with family and friends. There are various branches of Burmese speech, as well. One form is used when speaking to elders and teachers. Different pronouns referring to oneself (such as the usage of kya-naw or kya-ma) are used. When speaking to a person of the same status or of younger age, nga is used. When speaking to a monk, a person must refer to the monk as poun-poun and to himself as da-ga. Burmese monks may speak to fellow monks using Pali, and it is expected of faithful Burmese Buddhists to have a basic knowledge of Pali.
The word order of the Burmese language is subject-object-verb.
Burmese, just as in neighbouring languages such as Thai, Chinese, and Malay, uses nominal classifiers when nouns are being counted or quantified. This approximately equates to such English expressions as 'two slices of bread' or 'a cup of coffee'. In the above example, yauk is the classifier used when referring to people. Classifiers are imperative when counting nouns, so *kelei nga (to mean 'five children') would be ungrammatical. There are many classifiers in Burmese, and some of the most commonly used ones are shown below.
- ku - general classifier (can be used with almost any noun except animate objects)
- kaun - for animals (or to rudely used for persons)
- yauk - for people (informal)
- ú - for people (very formal)
- bá - for people (only for monks and nuns)
- lóun - for round objects
- pyá - for flat objects
- sín or zín - for vehicles (e.g. cars, ox carts)
- su - for a group
