I guess it is the same as chinese zhao in "six zhao" 六诏 and nanzhao 南诏.--刻意(Kèyì) 17:53, 28 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

OR and POV problems

[edit]

I am surprised how bad this page has gotten. According to the Google Ngram Viewer, "Sawbwa" is the predominant spelling in English language. It is the WP:COMMONNAME, and ideally should have been used as the page title. Yet, that form of the word itself has been banished from lead!

Sources have been added, but then completely ignored while people wrote their own content without regard to what the source says. The Historical Dictionary of Burmah has been cited several times, but no page numbers have been given. So we have no idea which content is being referred to.

And why is the Assam ruler's picture the leading image in the infobox? Which source mentiones the Assam rulers as the primary examples of sawbwas (saophas)? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:01, 31 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
