The Burmese language is written from left to right, without any division of words. The pure Burmese is monosyllabic, but the introduction of the Pali language, with the Boodhistic religion, has occasioned the incorporation of many polysyllabc words of Pali origin. The short grammar gives information on the alphabet, nouns, secondary nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, interjections.
