The first Myanmar script ever found was a brief Myanmar phrase quoted within a Mon stone inscription. That was Myakan Mon stone inscription by King Kyansitthar saying "Maha Nibban Letswe Chi Ye".However. the first Myanmar stone inscription. "Yarza Komer stone inscription" (also known as "Mya Zedi stone inscription") is known to many as the first Myanmar script. although we should say Myazedi Stone Inscription is the first Myanmar document.

 

Earliest Myanmar Document

Myazedi Stone Inscription is the earliest Myanmar document ever found in Myanmar's history. It still exists in Bagan. And it is in quite a good condition and is being well maintained.
Myazedi stone inscription. also known as Yarza Komer stone inscription. was engraved in 4 languages: Myanmar. Mon. Pali. and Pyu on 4 sides of a stone.
Every Burmese knows Prince Yarza Komer's story. He was the son of King Kyatsitthar. who had a lawful right to be the successor king. But the father King Kyansitthar didn't know he had a son. until after he had crowned his grandson (his dauther's son). He lived his whole life as just as a prince.
