I unfortunately cannot read the inscription, but it is definately in Burmese.

I have never seen this precise form before, but it is quite similar to other Burmese dha. I would say that it is more-or-less contemporary and made for the practice of martial arts. Andrew has studied this more closely than I, and so may have more comments on that.
