Myinsaing, Pinya and Sagaing

Myinsaing, Pinya and Sagaing was a state in Burma (Southeast Asia) that lasted from 1297 to 1364 CE, about 67 years. Its people spoke Tibeto-Burman languages (Tibetan, Burmese, Newar, Pyu, Tangut).

Three brothers took power in central Burma after Pagan's fall, and their successors split into rival kingdoms at Pinya and Sagaing. Shan raids destroyed both in 1364, and Thado Minbya founded Ava in their place.
