when my dad was young, he heard a phrase: Jai ma wa lei, my father was being told this is Burmese language, however, he can't find Jai ma wa lei in the Southeastern Asian phrase book, anyone can tell me whether Jai ma wa lei is Burmese language, or is it belong to a Burmese minoroty language?? Any friends can help?? Thank you so much

'Jai ma' sort of looks like the polite 1st person pronoun for a female, which is 'Kye-ma'. But I don't know what 'wa lei' might be. It's abit hard to speculate on what it might be since Burmese doesn't have a standardised Romanisation system like Pinyin or Romaji. Sorry.
