Myanmarese?

Thought, then, will we have to rename "Burmese Days"?

Since Myanmar is the noun, the adjective must be ... Myanmarian? Myanmartian? Myanmarvelous? Myanmyshadow? Myanmollymagee?

Wikipedia reports that the adjectival form is "myanma" (no R at the end), though even people in Burma often don't use it: External Link
