There are approximately a hundred languages spoken in Burma. Burmese spoken by two thirds of the populace is the official language. However languages spoken by ethnic minorities represent five language families: Sino-Tibetan Austro-Asiatic Tai–Kadai Indo-European and Austronesian as well as an incipient national standard for sign language.
