A Shan prince photographed in Kengtung in 1900.

Located in the northeast of the country, Shan State covers one-quarter of Burma's land mass. It was traditionally separated into principalities and is mostly comprised of ethnic Shan, Burman Pa-O, Intha, Taungyo, Danu, Palaung and Kachin peoples. The ethnic Tai-Shan people are believed to have migrated from Yunnan in China. The Shan are descendants of the oldest branch of the Tai-Shan, known as 'Tai Long' (Great Tai) or 'Thai Yai' (Big Thai). The Tai-Shan who migrated to the south and now inhabit modern-day Laos and Thailand are known as 'Tai Noi' (Little Tai) or 'Tai Nyai'. The Shan have inhabited the Shan Plateau and other parts of modern-day Myanmar as far back as the 10th century CE. The Shan kingdom of Mong Mao (Muang Mao) existed as early as the 10th century CE but became a Burmese vassal state during the reign of King Anawrahta of Pagan (1044-1077).
