The mynas (/ˈmaɪnə/; also spelled mynah) are a group of birds in the starling family (Sturnidae).
This is a group of passerine birds which are native to Iran and Southern Asia, especially Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
It is often known as "Selarang" and "Teck Meng" in Malay and Chinese respectively in Singapore, due to their high population there.
These two groups of mynas can be distinguished in the more terrestrial adaptions of the latter, which usually also have less glossy plumage, except on the heads, and longer tails.
Some mynas are considered talking birds, for their ability to reproduce sounds, including human speech, when in captivity.
