LEGYA , called by the Shans LAI-HKA, a state in the central division of the southern Shan States of Burma, lying approximately between 2o 15' and 210 30' N. and 970 50' and 98 30' E., with an area of 1433 sq. m. The population was estimated at 30,000 in 1881. On the downfall of King Thibaw civil war

broke out, and reduced the population to a few hundreds. In 190I it had risen again to 25,811. About seven-ninths of the land under cultivation consists of wet
rice
  cultivation. A certain amount of upland
rice
  is also cultivated, and
cotton
 , sugar-cane and garden produce make up the rest; recently large orange groves have been planted in the west of the state. Laihka, the
capital
 , is noted for its iron-
work
 , both the iron and the implements made being produced at Pang Long in the west of the state. This and lacquer-
ware
  are the
chief
  exports, as also a considerable amount of pottery. The imports are chiefly
cotton
  piece-goods and salt. The general character of the state is that of an undulating
plateau
 , with a broad plain near the
capital
  and along the Nam Teng, which is the
chief
  river, with a general altitude of a little under 3000 ft.
