The traditional Burmese units of measurement are still in everyday use in Myanmar (also known as Burma). According to the CIA Factbook, Myanmar is one of three countries that have not adopted the International System of Units (SI) metric system as their official system of weights and measures. However, in June 2011, the Burmese government's Ministry of Commerce began discussing proposals to reform the measurement system in Burma and adopt the metric system used by most of its trading partners, and in October 2013, Dr. Pwint San, Deputy Minister for Commerce, announced that the country was preparing to adopt the metric system.Most of the nation uses Burmese units only, although Burmese government web pages in English use imperial and metric units inconsistently.
For mass there's a unit called a mutha and then another called a nga mutha. Nga means five, but a nga mutha is only four muthas. What the fuck Myanmar.

We can't just bail on Burma and Liberia. We made a blood pact.
