The city of 325,927 is the capital and largest city of Mon State, Myanmar and is the main trading center and seaport in southeastern Burma. ==Etymology and Legend== The Mon name for Mawlamyine, (), means "damaged eye."〔''Dictionary of Modern Spoken Mon'' by H.L. Shorto (1962, Oxford University Press).〕 It is said to derive from Mot-Mua-Lum, meaning "one eye destroyed". According to legend, a Mon king had a powerful third eye in the centre of his forehead, able to see what was happening in neighbouring kingdoms. The daughter of one of the neighbouring kings was given in marriage to the three-eyed king and managed to destroy the third eye.〔(Myanmar Travel Information ). Accessed 16 August 2015〕 The Burmese name "Mawlamyine" is believed to be a corruption of the Mon name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mawlamyine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
