Following a sendoff with great fanfare, Judson and his bride, Ann (Haseltine), sailed with the Newells for India in 1812. During the four-month voyage, the couple carefully studied the baptismal positions of the English Baptists in order to controvert the Baptist position; however, when they arrived at Calcutta, they adopted Baptist principles and were baptized by William Carey. Upon their change of sentiments, the Judsons resigned from the ABCFM and plans were laid for the creation of a Baptist mission society in the United States.
While at Madison University in upstate New York, he met and married Emily Chubbock, a writer and educator. They returned to Burma in 1846 for continued work on an enlarged Burmese dictionary, which was finished in 1849. Shortly afterward, Judson contracted a respiratory fever and, attempting to travel to a better climate, died at sea.

The Association for Theological Education in Myanmar (ATEM) is an ecumenical body founded by the Myanmar Council of Churches in 1986 to promote coordination and cooperation in the upgrading of theological education in Myanmar. It started with eight member schools and 12 member churches and has now grown to 36 member schools representing 11 major denominations. The Association coordinates resources and promotes programs aimed at strengthening and upgrading theological education.
Biblical and spiritual books are being translated into the Myanmar language to meet the thirst for spiritual resources and hunger for Biblical knowledge and information. As theological terms are not of Myanmar origin, translators are translating these terms on their own for their own purposes. Hence, a diverse usage of theological terms is emerging and flooding the theological literature scene. Many new translations are beginning to emerge in the theological field. Hence, it has become especially important to bring precision to the use of theological terms in Myanmar. ATEM has felt the need to provide standard theological terms to create harmony and unity in the use of theological terms in the Myanmar language.
The print version of the WDTT, which was published in 2007, was done in partnership with the Ecumenical Theological Education in the WCC, the Danmission, and Langham Partnership. This current phase of the dictionary has been done in partnership with Global Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and United Church of Christ, and the Foundation for Theological Education in Southeast Asia (FTESEA).
The current version of the dictionary in the digital application form was launched on February 4, 2023 (Saturday at 7:00 pm in Myanmar), in an online event. The launch event program was moderated by Rev. Dr. Umnai Kui (TLC Chair), and the opening prayer was led by Sayama M. Nang Seng (Vice President, ATEM). A description of the historical background of the WDDT App Form was presented by Rev. Dr. Lal Tin Hre (Executive Secretary, ATEM), a demonstration of the app was made by Rev. Dr. Nang Sawm Piang (President, ATEM), and the dedication prayer was led by Rev. Mann Palmerston (General Secretary, MCC). Words of encouragement from Global Ministries were shared by Dr. Sarosh Koshy (Global Relations Minister, Southern Asia), and from the FTESEA were delivered by Rev. Dr. Wati Longchar (Executive Director). The meeting concluded with a word of thanks from the meeting moderator and a closing prayer and benediction by Rev. Khoi Lam Thang (General Secretary, Bible Society of Myanmar).
Suffixes, prefixes and other bound forms play a prominent part in the grammar of Burmese/Myanmar: they carry almost all the grammatical information contained in a sentence. This dictionary is a comprehensive list and account of those grammatical forms, providing a much needed supplement to the standard Burmese-English dictionaries, where the grammatical forms receive scant attention.

Another reason it is probably an accident (and not someone's intentional statement) is that it only appears this way in one phonetic system. According to TidBits, a Mac blog that apparently first reported this, "Dictionary has three different options for displaying the pronunciation key, which you can select in the Preferences window: U.S. English (Diacritical), U.S. English (IPA), and British English (IPA). It turns out that only the two IPA (international phonetic alphabet) choices show the pronunciation of "Burma"; the U.S. English (Diacritical) pronunciation is correct."
Now, sitting as I am just a couple of kilometers from North Korea in Dandong, Liaoning Province, China, the question arises: Is it North Korea or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? China or the People's Republic of China? Am I American, U.S. American, "from the United States," or just a foreigner? Apple's dictionary has no help for me there.

Burmese is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Myanmar, where it is an official language. It is spoken by over 40 million people worldwide. The government of Myanmar designates it as the Myanmar language, but most English speakers continue to refer to the language as Burmese, after Burma, the former name of Myanmar. The Burmese alphabet is derived from the Brahmic scripts of South Indian languages. This dictionary's two-way format makes it useful for both English and Burmese speakers. Each entry includes Burmese script as well Romanization (common sense phonetic pronunciation) for English speakers. Burmese ELL (English-Language Learner) students can look up the meaning of English words they don't recognize, and also translate their thoughts and writing in Burmese to English using this dictionary.

There is a precious Pali-Myanmar dictionary developed at the Sixth Buddhist Council. This dictionary contains all Pali words found in the Pali texts, commentaries and subcommentaries. This dictionary contains right now 153,000 words published in 21 volumes. Some more words will be added and the final version is expected to have 168,000 words. The current PTS dictionary developed more than 50 years ago has about 16,000 words and the Concise Pali English dictionary has about 22,000 words. One could see the big gap and the huge benefits to convert this Pali-Myanmar dictionary into English.
This project requires a lot of volunteers and the instructions for the PM12e project could be found in this Youtube video. One needs to know Burmese in order to directly participate in this project. Anothe way to help is to invite our Burmese friends to participate.
The dictionary is intended to keep an up-to-date register of the languages, as well as to make a usable resources for vocational training schools, ethnic language and literature education, and for web searches and future publications, an organizing committee representative said.
