* The Tai-Shan people are believed to have migrated from Yunnan in China.The Shan, who call themselves Tai, form one section
 of the large Tai ethnic group which is now believed to have spread from Southeast China through Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Burma
 and Assam. Shan legendsindicate that they were already in the part of Burma which they still inhabit as early as the mid 11th 
 century. The word “Shan” comes from the same root as Siam; in Bagan they were known as the Syam.
