Chinese people in Myanmar

The Chinese people in Burma, Burmese Chinese, or Sino-Burmese ((ビルマ語:မြန်မာတရုတ်လူမျိုး); ) are a group of overseas Chinese born or raised in Burma (Myanmar). Burmese Chinese constitute one group of Overseas Chinese and is relatively small compare to other Overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. Although the Chinese officially make up three percent of the population, the actual figure is believed to be much higher. Among the under-counted Chinese populations are: those of mixed background; those that have registered themselves as ethnic Bamar to escape discrimination; illegal Chinese immigrants that have flooded Upper Burma since the 1990s (up to 2 million by some estimates) but are not counted due to the lack of reliable census taking. As of 2012, the Burmese Chinese population is estimated to be at 1.6 million.〔〔
Burmese Chinese are well represented in all levels of Burmese society and play a leading role in the Burmese commerce and business sector as well as public service. Several Burmese Chinese such as Khin Nyunt, Ne Win, and San Yu have been major figures in the Burmese political scene. The Burmese Chinese are also a well established middle class ethnic group and dominate the Burmese economy today. Moreover, the Burmese Chinese have a disproportionately large presence in Burmese high powered private sector white collar jobs and highly educated class in Burma.
==Etymology==

In the Burmese language, the Chinese are called ''Tayoke'' (, ''tarut''), , and formerly spelt (''tarup''). The etymology of the term remains uncertain. The earliest evidence of this term dates to the Bagan era, in the 13th century, during which it referred to the territory and a variety of peoples to the north and northeast of Burma. Various scholars have proposed that it comes from the Chinese term for "Turk" (突厥, ''Tūjué''); from the name of Dali (大理國, ''Dàlǐguó''), the capital of the Kingdom of Nanzhao; a Chinese corruption of the term ''Dàyuèzhī'' (大月支 or 大月氏), a Chinese term referring to Mongol-speaking Kushan Huns. The adoption of ''Tayoke'' to refer to the Han Chinese was not an established practice until the 19th century.〔
In the Mon language, the Chinese are known as ''Krawk'' (, ); in Shan, they are called ''Khe'' (, ). In the Wa language, spoken in the borderlands between Yunnan Province and Shan State, the word for Chinese is ''Hox/Hawx'', pronounced .
