Pyu people - Pyu (English spelling)

Japanese: ピュー族 - ピューぞく(英語表記)Pyu
Pyu people - Pyu (English spelling)
An ancient ethnic group in Myanmar who spoke a language belonging to the Tibeto-Burman language family. They built and lived in a small fortress state centered around Prohm in the Irrawaddy River basin. Several ruins of fortresses remain today. All ruins were surrounded by long brick walls and had moats on the outside. Several commonalities can be seen from the artifacts excavated from the ruins. One of these was the urn burial system, in which the Pyu people would cremate their dead and then bury them in stone jars or unglazed pots. This custom is unique to the Pyu people and has not been passed down to the Burmese people.

Japanese:
チベット・ビルマ語派に属する言語を使っていたミャンマーの古代民族。イラワジ川流域のプロームを中心に小さな城砦国家を築いて住んでいた。城砦跡は今も数ヵ所残っている。遺跡はいずれも煉瓦造りの長大な城壁で取り囲まれ,外側に濠がめぐっていた。遺跡の出土品からいくつかの共通性がわかる。その一つは骨壺埋葬制で,ピュー族は死者を荼毘に付した後,遺骨を石甕や素焼きの壺に入れて埋葬していた。これはピュー族固有の風習で,ビルマ族には伝承されていない。
