   Low-resource code generation remains underexplored, with existing benchmarks largely focused on English. Burmese coding presents a dual challenge: generating correct programs while maintaining natural Burmese explanations without corrupting programming syntax. In practice, models frequently exhibit mixed-script hallucination, unstable terminology, and cross-language token drift despite producing functionally correct code. We introduce Burmese-Coder-4B, a Burmese coding assistant adapted from the Gemma-3 4B family via supervised fine-tuning and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). The alignment stage incorporates a language-aware penalization signal to suppress mixed-language outputs and improve linguistic consistency. Evaluation is conducted using a two-track framework combining functional correctness (Pass@1) and rubric-based LLM-as-a-Judge scoring using Gemini 2.5 and DeepSeek V3. Burmese-Coder-4B matches the base model on Pass@1 (62.0 percent) while improving rubric quality (3.779 vs. 3.203) and reducing mixed-language penalty (0.02 vs. 0.69). Compared to Qwen2.5-3B (45.0 percent Pass@1, 2.526 rubric), the burmese-coder model achieves stronger alignment in both code correctness and Burmese language quality. These results demonstrate that functional correctness alone is insufficient for evaluating low-resource coding assistants. We release the model and evaluation framework to support reproducible research.
