saying that it's myanmar and not burma is like saying no it is nippon it is not japan kawaii desu desu ~_~
not really
a lot of bumese people prefer burma, since it's the junta that changed the name
there's a political connotation
The official reason for the name change is that "Burma" is taken after the Bamar people, the current ethnic majority, and is therefore racist.
The actual reason, according to various sources, is that "Burma" was the official name used by both the British colonists and the communists, neither of which the junta likes a whole lot. The reasons are obvious.
"Burma" and "Myanmar" have been used side-by-side for about eight hundred years, ever since the Bamar people overthrew the then-dominant Mon rulers. "Myanmar" has been more popular during, and is therefore associated with, periods of ethnic oppression by the Bamar against other ethnicities.
