Saw Sala (Burmese: စောစလာ, pronounced [sɔ́ səlà]) was the chief consort of Gov. Thawun Nge of Toungoo (Taungoo) from 1317 to 1324. After her husband's death, she became the regent on behalf of her young son Saw Hnit, and ran Toungoo for about a year. Her rule was unpopular, and she and her son were overthrown by Chief Minister Kayin Ba in 1325. She escaped the coup at the governor's palace that killed Saw Hnit, but died on the run near Taungdwingyi.[1]
