Yangon
Etymology and pronunciation

The name Yangon (ရန်ကုန်) is derived from the combination of the Burmese words yan (ရန်) and koun (ကုန်), which mean 'enemies' and 'run out of', respectively. This word combination can be translated as 'End of Strife'.

The name is pronounced / ˌ j æ ŋ ˈ ɡ ɒ n / yang- GON in British English and / ˌ j ɑː n ˈ ɡ oʊ n / yahn- GOHN in American English.

The former romanization, Rangoon, was based on the Rakhine dialect, and pronounced / r æ ŋ ˈ ɡ uː n / rang- GOON in English.
