Editing Poet laureate (section)

==== Myanmar ====
In ancient [[Myanmar|Burma]], there were kings who bestowed the title of ''[[nawade]]'' to the poets laureate. However, according to Kaung (2011), two nawades are often discussed in Burmese literature: Nawadegyi (1498–1588; Prome Nawade) and Dutiya (1756–1840; Wetmasut Nawade).<ref>{{cite book |author=Khin Maung Nyuntt |title=An Outline History of Myanmar Literature: Pagan Period to Kon-baung Period |publisher=Yangon |year=1999 |page=71 |asin=B00398UY4C}}</ref><ref name="ThawKaung">{{cite web |author=Thaw Kaung |year=2011 |title=The Myanmar Poetic Account of Ayutthaya Vanquished: Notes on Its Rediscovery and Significance |url=http://www.siamese-heritage.org/jsspdf/2011/JSS_099_0e_ThawKaung_MyanmarPoeticAccountOfAyutthayaVanquish.pdf |page=27}}</ref><ref name="Toungoo">{{cite news |date=November 1987 |title=Toungoo Period Writers |url=http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/docs3/BPS87-11.pdf |newspaper=Burma Press |page=11 |volume=1 |number=8}}</ref>
