Description:

[currently incomplete, need to change holding names but titles work just fine]

This is just a simple, small mod to make the Burmese and Mon title names more authentic. In Vanilla, Burmese and Mon rulers are known as King, Duke, etc. This mod changes those titles to:

King -> Maṅ Krī ("great king")
Queen -> Ami Purā ("queen")
Duke -> Maṅ Ṅay ("lesser king")
Duchess -> Maṅ Samī ("princess")
Count -> Amat ("minister")
Baron -> Shin ("lord," from modern Burmese)
Countess/Baroness -> Daw ("lady / senior woman," from modern Burmese)
Knight/Champion -> Mran Ciy ("cavalier")

The medieval Burmese social structure in history didn’t really directly correspond to Western nobility systems. In reality, commoners in Burma had more control over low-level administration than their European counterparts, and there was less distinction between ‘levels’ of nobility – there were kings, then there were king’s relatives, then there were lesser nobles or ministers.

This localisation isn’t perfect, I haven’t gotten around to doing non-english localisation files yet. If people are interested, I can add compatibility for French, Spanish, German etc.
