Etymology

What is the origin and meaning of the word kyat? Timur lenk 16:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Myanma?

Is there a reason it is Myanma? Otherwise, I'll move it to Myanmar kyat. –- kungming·2 —Preceding comment was added at 03:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose the English name should be Myanmar Kyat rather than Myanma. Moving sounds reasonable to me. --RegentsPark 03:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is a reason — Myanma is the correct adjectival form of Myanmar. See Names of Burma#Adjective oddities. Jpatokal 03:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page was unilaterally moved to "Myanmar Kyat", which is doubly wrong -- not only is "Myanma" the correct adjective as per above, but currency units are not capitalized (cf. Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style). I've reverted the move. Jpatokal (talk) 02:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was not done. Reviewing this and past discussions regarding this move, I do not see consensus in favour. Feel free to relist if further discussion is desired. Skomorokh 08:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Myanma kyat → Myanmar kyat — Per WP:NUMIS/Style: "If there is no adjectival form listed, use the shortened form of the country name". "Myanma" is not an accepted adjectival form for Myanmar according to m-w.com or dictionary.com. --armagebedar (talk) 01:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those who are unable to read the Talk page are doomed to repeat it → see above and particularly Names of Burma#Adjective oddities. Jpatokal (talk) 11:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move, but to Burmese kyat, since Wikipedia calls the country Burma, not Myanmar, and the adjective of Burma is Burmese. +An gr 14:18, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

In the past

16 Annas = 1 Rupee
100 Pyas = 1 Kyat (Tical) Böri (talk) 11:52, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

The pronunciation is wrong - in Myanmar, the k is pronounce as English "ch". For instance, the Merriam-Webster online English dictionary shows it as \ˈchät\ ^[1]
