Kachin State is the northernmost state of Myanmar. "Burmese and Jingpho are lingua francas of Kachin State. Since Burma achieved independence in 1948, signif…icant numbers of Burmese speakers have settled in Kachin State, which has accelerated a language shift from Jingpho to Burmese. Other Kachin tribes speak and write their own language: the Zaiwa, the Rawang, and the Lisu, who speak both the Lisu language and the Lipo language. English is also widely spoken as a working language" (Wikipedia).
