The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Burmese: ပွညျထောငျစု လှှတျတောျ, pronounced [pj?d?uɴzu̯ l̥ʊʔtɔ̀]; Assembly of the Union) is the national-level bicameral legislature of Myanmar (officially known as the Republic of the Union of Myanmar) established by the 2008 National Constitution. The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is made up of two houses, the Amyotha Hluttaw (အမြိုးသားလှှတျတောျ; House of Nationalities), a 224-seat upper house as well as the Pyithu Hluttaw, a 440-seat lower house (ပွညျသူ့လှှတျတောျ; House of Representatives). Each of the fourteen major administrative regions and states has its own local Hluttaw--Region Hluttaw (တိုငျးဒသေကွီးလှှတျတောျ; Region Assembly) or State Hluttaw (ပွညျနယျလှှတျတောျ; State Assembly). The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is housed in a 31-building complex, which is believed to represent the 31 planes of existence in Buddhist cosmology, located in Zeya Theddhi Ward of Naypyidaw.[1] Members of the first Pyidaungsu Hluttaw were elected in the Burmese general election on 7 November 2010.
