Japanese and Burmese share one thing in common --- their word order is similar --- It's a a subject–object–verb word order. Watashiwa gohan o tabemasu.
Thai, Lao, Vietnamese, and Cambodia follow the Chinese word orde --- Subject + Verb + Object. I eat rice is a good example.
As we know, language is part of culture. The difference in this may be a result of the difference in culture. And we know that culture is about a way of life of a group of people.
