The Myeik dialect, also known as Beik in Burmese, Mergui and Merguese in English, and Marit (มะริด) in Thai, is a divergent dialect of Burmese, spoken in Myeik, the second largest town in Tanintharyi Region, the southernmost region of Myanmar.[2] Myeik shares many commonalities with the Tavoyan dialect, although there are substantial differences especially with regard to phonology.[2]
