Flag Counter Forum / Name Change Poll : Do you Prefer Burma or Myanmar

**Posted by roddersnavy** October 14, 2017 11:41 pm

Hello Flag Collectors,

Jeremy has since changed the names of two countries Czech Republic to Czechia and Ivory Coast to Cote d'Ivoire.

Now it's time to vote on Burma or Myanmar.

First off both names are officially correct, and it depends on your country which one you officially call it.
Majority of English speaking nations still use Burma. The United Nations have adopted Myanmar.

Countries often changes their names. Especially if they've been colonies and then get independence. It's just part of life.
