Ramaññadeśa (the ancient people of lower Burma).—The word Tilang which we meet with in some Arabic records evidently is a corruption of this Trikaliṅga which is also responsible for the term Talaing used to designate the ancient people of Lower Burma or Ramaññadeśa who must have originally migrated from the Trikaliṅga countries.

Ramaññadesa (ရာမညဒေသ) is a Burmese and Mon word which means “country of the Ramans”. This was because the Mons were previously called Ramans. Its primary meaning is "pleasant and lovely". Ramaññadesa and Suvannabhumi are the names referring to the Monland in the remote past which covered Myanmar and Thailand. The name Ramaññadesa and Suvannabhumi may be the Indianized and they were used in the old Indian literature. These two names also occurred in the two oldest chronicles of Ceylon known as Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa composed in the 4th century and 6th century respectively.
