Only about 25 percent of all Burmese live in urban areas (compared to 76 percent in the United States). There are 55 million people in Myanmar (estimated in 2013). The citizens of Myanmar are called Myanmars, Myanmaris or Myanmarese by some. It refers to the language and culture of these people and citizens of Myanmar. Burmese is both a noun (singular and plural) and adjective. The ethnic group after which Burma is named is the Burmans or Bamars. People in Myanmar are called Burmese (fortunately the generals didn't change the official name of the people along with the name of the country).
