Local Languages and Education Amidst Conflict and Federal Aspirations in Myanmar
Myanmar is a country of complex ethnic and linguistic diversity, whose independence was founded upon federal principles and compromises. Language-in-education policy has remained a contentious issue since, especially under successive military juntas that had systematically restricted the use of ethnic minority languages in formal education. In contrast, the reform period from 2011 to 2021 saw slow but notable progress: by 2020, 64 minority langua…
Local Languages and Education in Southeast Asia
This article serves as an introduction to Issue 45 of Moussons, which is dedicated to local languages and education in Southeast Asia. Characterized by its diversity—including linguistically—the region tends to face particularly acute questions regarding language-in-education policies. The stakes associated with these choices are diverse and crucial: (1) preserving linguistic and cultural diversity, (2) ensuring access to education for ethnic/lin…
Langues transnationales en Asie du Sud-Est
Within the highly diverse linguistic landscape of Southeast Asia (more than 1 350 languages in 11 countries), two languages retain our attention: Thai-Lao and Malay.

Following brief linguistic characterisation…

From Fluidity to Discretization… and Fractal Recursivity? Opportunities and Challenges Underpinning the Introduction of Minority Languages in Kachin State’s government schools (2011-2020)
In Myanmar, the 2011-2020 period—before the February 2021 military coup—has witnessed limited but steadily increasing momentum in terms of introducing ethnic minority languages (as subjects and oral media of instruction) in government schools, a shift liable to bring significant educational and political benefits, while contributing to the preservation of cultural and linguistic diversity. Focusing on Kachin State, this article deals with the und…
Tony Waters, Ashley South, Chayan Vaddhanaphuti & Luke Corbin, Moving around Myanmar. Migration in, from, and back to Burma
Moving around Myanmar, Migration in, from and back to Burma is an edited volume published in the wake of the 3rd International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies, co-organized by Chiang Mai University in 2021. This conference was held (partly online) in particularly disturbed times: not only in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, but also only a month after the military coup of February 2021 in Myanmar. The nine chapters of this volume come fro…
