Pyinthar (Pyinthari: ပြိန်ထရ; PLCTS: Pyain-ṭhar; [pjɪ̀ɰ̃.tʰa̰]), officially the People's Republic of Pyinthar (Pyinthari: ပြည်သူ့ သမ္မတနိုင်ငံ ပြိန်ထရ; PLCTS: Pyi Thu Samma Da Nain Ngan Pyain-ṭhar), is a sovereign state located in Western Abaria. It shares its only land border with Yingok to the west and its other close neighbors are X and X to the east, with the Jade Sea being located along most of the coastline. It is the second largest country by area in Mainland Western Abaria and has a population of about 96 million. The country's capital and largest city is Hcajhan.

Early civilizations in the area stemmed from the immigration of southern Yinese people between 1500 and 1000 BCE. These later developed into more sedentary societies that included the Pyinthari- and Thanhliênese-speaking city-states, many of which arose around the 2nd century BCE. These city-states persisted until around the 9th century CE when many formed various regional confederations, in a period known as the Three Kingdoms Period. Following the establishment of the Hcajhan Kingdom around 1050 CE, the Pyinthari culture, language and religions became the dominant forms within the region. The Hcajhan Kingdom fell to the Artuchid around the late 13th century, where it was later replaced by the 2nd Three Kingdoms Period, with the kingdoms of Kathaiwabha, Daghein, and Thiênh (from west to east respectively). By the 16th century, the Kathaiwabha had subsumed the two others, forming the Taungumein Kingdom, which reunified most of what had been under the domain of the Hcajhan Kingdom earlier on. After a brief war against Yingok the Taungumein Kingdom collapsed, giving way to the Gyadhao Kingdom in 1758, which formed the modern borders and culture of Pyinthar.

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.
