The purpose of the study is to present the phonological system of Burmese language in Hintharton Village, Wakema Township, Myaungmya District, Ayeyarwady Region of Myanmar. The phonological description is based on Tagmemic approach and can be summarized as follows;

The objectives of this thesis were 1) to study the phonological Burmese language spoken by the people in Hintharton village, Wakema township, Myaungmya district, Ayeyarwady region of Myanmar and 2) to analyze the sound systems of Burmese by the people in my village.

Research design was qualitative which means few random speakers were selected to represent the whole group. The population was 7 key informants of study; the tool for data collection was an in-depth interview from key informants and documents research. The Data collection method by conducting to face-to-face
in-depth interview and collecting data from document research, data analyzing collected from this interview methods included phonological word, data in contexts both phrases and sentences were used to analyze the syllable type and phonological word. The data collected from sentences were collected by interviewing the informants and analyzed to provide in Hintharton phonology.

The results of the study revealed that tones of the final syllables or particles create different intonation contours: if the pitch pattern of the final syllables or particles was falling, the intonation of the utterance was falling; if
the pitch pattern was rising, then the intonation of the utterance would be rising, which was predictable.

There were four types of phonological words: monosyllabic, disyllabic, trisyllabic and tetrasyllabic. Each word type carries predictably strong stress at
the final syllable. There were three types of syllable: major, minor, and presyllable. The structure of the major and minor syllable was C_i1 (C_i1) V₁ (V₂) ^T, and the structure of presyllable is only /Ca/. The phoneme comprises of 34 consonants, /p, ph, b, ŧ, đ, t, th, d, k, kh, g, ʔ, s, sh, z, ɕ, h, c, ch, j, m, hm, n, hn, ɲ, hɲ, ŋ, hŋ, w, hw, y, l, hl, r/: eight oral vowels, /a, e, i, u, o, ɛ, ɔ, ai/ and seven nasal vowels, /ĩ, ӗ, ã, ũ, õ, ɔ˜, ãĩ/. There are four tones: /1, 2, 3, 4/, or high falling, mid falling, mid high, and high abrupt, respectively.

Assimilation: Contextual assimilation of both the segmental and suprasegmentally types occurred very frequently in this language. Syllable components C_i1, V₁ and T underwent assimilation.
