Publisher Description: Rohingya language is the mother tongue of Rohingya ethnic group living in Myanmar. Although Rohingya language was once a state language of Rosango or Arakan state but it started loosing it's patronage after Burmese invasion. As a result this language was not preserved well. Recently Myanmar started "textbook example of ethnic cleansing'' in Rakhaine or Arakan to uproot Rohingyas from their anchestral lands. For this reason, their language is now at risk of extinction. Rohingya has no written form or they failed to formulate their own alphabets. Here I have used Roman alphabet for better understanding for the users. This dictionary could help preserve this oppressed language. |
