Mongnai, also known as Möngnai, Mone, Mōng Nai or Monē,[1] was a Shan state in what is today Burma. It belonged to the Eastern Division of the Southern Shan States.[1] Its capital was Mongnai town.[2]

History

Möngnai state was founded before 1800. According to tradition a predecessor state named Saturambha had existed previously in the area.[3]

Mongnai included the substates of Kengtawng[1] and Kenghkam. The latter was annexed in 1882.[citation needed]
