Pyinthar (Pyinthari: ပြိန်ထရ; IPA: pjɪ̀ɰ̃.tʰa̰), officially the People's Republic of Pyinthar (Pyinthari: ပြည်သူ့ သမ္မတနိုင်ငံ ပြိန်ထရ; PLCTS: Pyi Thu Samma Da Nain Ngan Pyain-ṭhar), is a small nation located in the southwestern corner of Abaria.
Etymology
The etymology of the word "Pyinthar" is believed to be derived from the ancient Pyinthari words "Pyin" (ပြိန်) and Thar (ထရ). "Pyin" suggested a sort of connection, union, or harmony, with "Thar" implying a further sense of grandeur or significance. Over time, it is believed that these two words conjoined into some vague "Land/People of Harmony," though this particular etymology is disputed.
Alternatively, others have interpreted it as meaning "the noble homeland" or just "the homeland," as the actual definition of each constituent word being difficult to trace and translate. However, most scholarly debates focus more so on the former etymology, seeing as how the term is used for the nation and its people.
