There are about 1.8 million speakers. </p> <p>Rohingya was first written with a version of the Arabic alphabet during the 19th century. Between 1826-1948 when Arakan was administered by the British, English and Urdu were the main written languages used. In 1975 a new orthography based on the Arabic alphabet was developed, and also another based on the Urdu alphabet. In the 1980s a new script for Rohingya, known as <a href="hanifi.htm">Hanifi</a>, was created by Mohammad Hanif and colleagues. </p> <h2 class="right">Arabic alphabet for Rohingya</h2> <p class="right"><img src="../images/writing/rohingya_arb.gif" width="593" height="781" alt="Arabic alphabet for Rohingya" /> </p> <h3>Notes</h3> <ul> <li>&#1579;, &#1581;, &#1584;, &#1590;, &#1589;, &#1696;, &#1594;, &#1593;, &#1592;, &#1591; ,&#1700; and &#1602; are only used in loanwords.</li> </ul> <h2>Latin alphabet for Rohingya (Ru&#x00E1;inggya fonna)</h2> <p><img src="../images/writing/rohingya_lat.gif" width="593" height="542" alt="Latin alphabet for Rohingya (Ru&#x00E1;inggya fonna)" /> </p> <h3>Notes</h3> <ul> <li>Q, ts, v and x are used in loanwords and names.</li> </ul> <p><a href="../charts/rohingya.xls">Download the Rohingya alphabet charts</a> (Excel) </p> <p><em><a href="../charts/rohingya.pdf">Details of Rohingya alphabets</a> provided by Wolfram Siegel (PDF)</em> </p> <h2 class="right">Sample text (Arabic alphabet)</h2> <p class="right"><span dir="rtl">&#x0645;&#x064E;&#x0646;&#x064F;&#x08EA;&#x0634;&#x06E1; &#x0628;&#x08E6;&#x06AF;&#x064F;&#x0651;&#x08EA;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0632;&#x064E;&#x062F;&#x06E1; &#x062D;&#x0650;&#x08ED;&#x0633;&#x064E;&#x0641;&#x08E6;&#x060C; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x06E1; &#x0639;&#x0650;&#x0632;&#x0651;&#x08E4;&#x062A;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x06E1;&#x062F;&#x08E6; &#x062D;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0642;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0643;&#x0651;&#x08E4;&#x0644;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x062A;&#x06E1;&#x060C; &#x0641;&#x064F;&#x08EA;&#x0648;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x0646;&#x064E;&#x0651;&#x08EA;&#x08AC; &#x062D;&#x0650;&#x08ED;&#x0633;&#x064E;&#x0641;&#x08E6; &#x0641;&#x08E4;&#x064A;&#x06E1;&#x062F;&#x064E; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x064A;&#x0651;&#x08E6;. &#x0641;&#x08E4;&#x062A;&#x0650;&#x0651; &#x0627;&#x0650;&#x0646;&#x06E1;&#x0633;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x062A;&#x064F;&#x0651; &#x0647;&#x08E4;&#x0646;&#x08E4;&#x08EA; &#x0641;&#x08E4;&#x0631;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0643;&#x06E1; &#x0633;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x0631;&#x064E;&#x08EA; &#x0639;&#x08E6;&#x0644;&#x064E;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x062A;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0633;&#x08E6;&#x08ED;&#x062F;&#x08E6; &#x062A;&#x064E;&#x0645;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x0645;&#x06E1; &#x062D;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0642;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0643;&#x0651;&#x08E4;&#x0644;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x06E1;&#x062F;&#x08E6; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0632;&#x064E;&#x062F;&#x0650; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0643;&#x0651;&#x08E4;&#x0644;&#x06E1; &#x0644;&#x08E4;&#x064A;&#x06E1; &#x0641;&#x064E;&#x08EB;&#x064A;&#x06E1;&#x062F;&#x064E;&#x08EA; &#x06AF;&#x08E4;&#x0631;&#x08E4;&#x08EB;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0631;&#x06E1; &#x062D;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0642;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0633;&#x08E6;&#x08ED;. &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x06E1;&#x060C; &#x062A;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x0631;&#x08E6;&#x08ED; &#x062F;&#x0650;&#x0644;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x06E1;&#x062F;&#x08E6; &#x062F;&#x08E6;&#x0645;&#x064E;&#x0643;&#x06E1; &#x062F;&#x0650;&#x064A;&#x08E6;&#x08ED; &#x0627;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x062A;&#x08E4;&#x08EA;&#x0644;&#x064E;&#x0651;&#x060C; &#x062A;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x062A;&#x064F;&#x0651;&#x08EA; &#x0627;&#x08E6;&#x0643; &#x0632;&#x08E4;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0644;&#x08E4;&#x064A;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x064E;&#x0631;&#x06E1; &#x0627;&#x08E6;&#x0643;&#x06E1;&#x0632;&#x08E4;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0628;&#x064E;&#x08EA;&#x064A;&#x06E1; &#x062D;&#x0650;&#x08ED;&#x0633;&#x064E;&#x0641;&#x08E6; &#x0645;&#x064E;&#x0627;&#x0645;&#x064E;&#x0644;&#x064E; &#x06AF;&#x08E4;&#x0631;&#x08E4;&#x08EB;&#x0646;&#x06E1; &#x0633;&#x064E;&#x08EC;.</span> </p> <h2>Sample text (Latin alphabet)</h2> <p>Man&#x00FA;ic begg&#x00FA;n azad h&#x00ED;safe, ar izzot arde h&#x00F3;k &#x00F3;kkol &#x00F3;t, f&#x00FA;ainna h&#x00ED;safe foida &#x00F3;iye.
