Old Burmese is the language attested in the stone inscriptions of Pagan and is the oldest phase of Burmese linguistic history. The earliest monument in Old Burmese is the Old Burmese face of the Myazedi inscription. Many things remain controversial in the understanding of Old Burmese phonology and morphology. However it is clear that Burmese maintains a number of distinctions which are lost in the standard orthography of standard Burmese. Examples of such differences include the consonant yh- and the lateral clusters kl- and khl-. The earliest Old Burmese documents, in particular the Myazedi and Lokatheikpan inscriptions frequently have -o- where later Burmese has -wa. Old Burmese also had a final -at and -an distinct from -ac and -any as shown by Nishi (1974).
