Sumjok
Hsawnghsup was one of the outlying Shan princely states in what is today Burma. It was called Somsok (Samjok) in Manipur Chronicles and Thaungthut by the Burmese. The latter name is now applied only to the final headquarters of the state, the seat of its Saopha (Sawbwa) in the 19th century. This town is on bank of the Chindwin River, but the original headquarters was apparently in the Kabaw Valley to the west, near the border with Manipur, and a good part of the state was also in that valley. During the British rule in Burma, Hsawnghsup formed an exclave located to the northwest of the rest of the Shan States, within the Upper Chindwin District of British Burma and bound to the west by the princely state of Manipur. Most of the territory of the state was dense forest. History According to the Manipur chronicles, king Kiyamba of Manipur and "Choupha Khekkhompa" of "Pong" (Möng Kawng) jointly conquered Hsawnghsup in 1470 CE and divided the state between themselves.

Inwa
Inwa (, or ; also spelled Innwa; formerly known as Ava), located in Mandalay Region, Myanmar, is an ancient imperial capital of successive Burmese kingdoms from the 14th to 19th centuries. Throughout history, it was sacked and rebuilt numerous times. The capital city was finally abandoned after it was destroyed by a series of major earthquakes in March 1839. Though only a few traces of its former grandeur remain today, the former capital is a popular day-trip tourist destination from Mandalay. Etymology The name Inwa (အင်းဝ) literally means "mouth of the Lake", reflecting its geographical location at the mouth of lakes in the Kyaukse District. Another theory states that it is derived from ''Innawa'' (), meaning "nine lakes" in the area.Khin Khin Aye 2007: 60 The city's classical name in Pali is ''Ratanapura'' (ရတနပုရ; "City of Gems").

Koshanpye
Koshanpye (, ), also called Kopyidoung (, ), is a historical name in Burmese language, Burmese literature which means "nine Shan states". The name was first introduced to western readers by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton in the ''Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, X'', year of 1824. Discovery and explanation Francis Buchanan-Hamilton obtained the ''Map of Koshanpri'' from the slave in Inwa, Ava. Hamilton didn't research the proper name of "Koshanpri" or the literal meaning "Nine Provinces of Shan", but he pointed out that the Shan territory had been divided into 18 lordships, the slave even alleged that this number had been increased to 22. After that, many scholars have given conflicting lists of "nine Shan states" strove to explain the name. Some of the scholars don't agree with the literal meaning of "nine Shan states".
