Homophones are words that sound the same, but have different spelling and meanings, e.g. flower and flour. As there are no spelling rules to help you remember them, you need to learn these words. I'd like you to think of more homophones and add them to the list.
Cheers

ReplyDeleteMyitkyina is the capital city of Kachin State in Myanmar (formerly Burma), located 919 miles from Yangon, or 487 miles from Mandalay. In Burmese it means "near the big river", and in fact "Myitkyina" lies on the west bank of the Ayeyarwady River, just below 25 miles from Myit-son (Burmese for confluence) of its two headstreams (the Mali and N'mai rivers). It is the northernmost river port and railways terminus in Myanmar.
ReplyDeleteDuring World War II in August 1944, Myitkyina fell to the Allied forces under General Joseph Stilwell after a prolonged siege and heavy fighting between Nationalist Chinese divisions and Merrill's Marauders of the Northern Combat Area Command and the besieged elements of the 33rd Imperial Japanese Army under General Masaki Honda. The town was strategically important not only because of its rail and water links to the rest of Burma, but also because it was on the planned route of the Ledo Road.
As the capital of the State, it has government offices and a greater population than other cities in the State. The city has a population of approximately 150,000, with a mix of Kachin, Shan, Bamar peoples and some Chinese and Indians. Fragrant rice produced near Myitkyina, called khat cho, is considered the best in Myanmar.
The Kachin language is the common language among the Kachin, but Burmese is the national language and everyone can speak Burmese. It has two big markets, Myitkyina University, a teachers college, a nurses training school, and a computer college, and various Christian theological seminaries and colleges affiliatied with several seminaries in the US and Asia,notably Kachin Theological College-Nawng Nan.
Major religions are Theravada Buddhism and Baptist Christianity, but other religions such as animism, Hinduism and Islam are also practised. Foreigners are now free to visit Myitkyina without prior government permission.
The city is home to the Myitkyina Education College , Myitkyina University and Kachin Theological College-Nawng Nan
