;"Most commonly used name in English" 
 I keep seeing comments that Burma is more commonly used in English.  I strongly dispute that — at most, I think we could say that usage is split in English-speaking countries.  I know that the Associated Press have been using Myanmar for some time, and every single newspaper report I read when the nation was in the news last year had "MYANMAR" in the headline.  I explicitely looked for mention of Burma as a former name, for example, and never saw that.  —   ·
