First Mon language newspaper in 50 years to be published

The Than Lwin Times, a Mawlamyine-based newspaper, which mainly covers news from southern Myanmar, will include news in the Mon language starting from February 12.

“This is a trial run of our journal as private daily papers and ethnic language publications will be allowed from April,” said the journal's editor Min Min Nwe. “In this issue, there will be three pages in Mon language: two pages for news and a one-page feature.”
