Mongsang (also known as Maingsin) was a Shan state in what is today Burma.
Mongsang became independent from Hsenwi in 1857 under a personal union with the neighbouring state of Monghsu. It was a tributary of Burma until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty.
The rulers of Möngsang/Monghsu bore the title of Myoza.

Mong may refer to:
The traditional or classical Mongolian alphabet, sometimes called Hudum 'traditional' in Oirat in contrast to the Clear script (Todo 'exact'), is the original form of the Mongolian script used to write the Mongolian language. It does not distinguish several vowels (o/u, ö/ü, final a/e) and consonants (t/d, k/g, sometimes ž/y) that were not required for Uyghur, which was the source of the Mongol (or Uyghur-Mongol) script. The result is somewhat comparable to the situation of English, which must represent ten or more vowels with only five letters and uses the digraph th for two distinct sounds. Ambiguity is sometimes prevented by context, as the requirements of vowel harmony and syllable sequence usually indicate the correct sound. Moreover, as there are few words with an exactly identical spelling, actual ambiguities are rare for a reader who knows the orthography.
Letters have different forms depending on their position in a word: initial, medial, or final. In some cases, additional graphic variants are selected for visual harmony with the subsequent character.
Sang or SANG may refer to:
Sang is the pinyin romanization of the Chinese surname 桑 (Sāng). A variant traditional form is 桒. Both forms were unlisted among the Song-era Hundred Family Surnames.
Sang is also the romanization of the Korean surname 상 derived from the Chinese surname Chang.
Sang was unlisted among the 100-most-common surnames in mainland China in 2007 or on Taiwan in 2005. It was the 16,712nd most common name in America during the 2000 US Census.
Sang literally means "mulberry". Its Old Chinese form has been reconstructed as *sˤaŋ, but it was already Sang by the time of Middle Chinese.
Sang is a rare Korean family name, a single-syllable Korean unisex given name, and an element in many two-syllable Korean given names. Its meaning differs based on the hanja used to write it.
As a family name, Sang may be written with only one hanja, meaning "yet" or "still" 尙. This family name has one bon-gwan: Mokcheon-eup (목천읍), Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do. The 2000 South Korean census found 2,298 people with this family name.
There are 35 hanja with the reading "sang" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names; common ones are listed in the table at right.
