Talk:Rohingya language

message: It has been re-inserted again because Rohingya vowel sound can not be explained without reference to English vowel sound. However, sub-headings are removed and revised to clearly reveal sound camparison links between the two languages.
Dear Mr. Ragib:
I do not really understand why you need to remove the Rohingya and English comparison   reference. Please explain. Rohingya Language can not be practcally explained without reference to another commonly known langauge which is in fact English. When you have removed the portion the remaining section became orphan with missing references.
:The analysis can be done without going to such length about the English language. The section you refer makes a detailed analysis of English, and almost sounds like this is taken from a language-tutor book (the referenes to "you" in the text suggests that). I also don't agree that you can't refer to Rohingya without referring to English. The readers of *this* encyclopedia, that is, the English encyclopedia, already know English, so trying to explain English words to them is a fallacy. Thanks. --Ragib 18:35, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Mono Sound section

message: Dear Mr. Ragib: What is Bama (in your addition)? Appreciated if you can explain it.
:Well, I don't know, the Amnesty International report mentions that. I am assuming it is a language spoken in nearby regions. There are some tribal people who speak a dialect called Bama.

thread_title: Bama

message: I have created the Chittagonian language article. The description of sounds in this Rohingya language article are very good, and of course Rohingya is a dialect of Chittagonian and the descriptions given apply to both identically, so I was wondering whether I should copy and paste the sections on sounds into the chittagonian language article? Please advise, Tanzeel 17:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You could add English, which is spoken in many countries. Of course, the mere fact that two countries or nations use the same language does not make them identical. Nobody here disputes this, and nobody here tries to deny the Rohingya their separate identity. If they perceive themselves as separate, that is their right. Linguistic classification (or mere observation of extremely close similarity and high mutual intelligibility) does not imply anything about political imperatives. Linguistics and politics are different things. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:09, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chittagonian 

message: I have done a major rewrite to eliminate much (though far from all) of the unintelligible or misleading descriptions; I have also tried to eliminate the POV problem indicated by the previous commenter.  To whoever wrote the long description of sounds I have deleted: I am sorry, I know you put a lot of work into it, but it was completely useless.  I have studied many languages (and have a graduate degree in linguistics, for what that's worth) and am used to deciphering unprofessional descriptions, but I could not make head nor tail of such terms as "straight sound formations and circular sound formations," "normal (soft) mode or stressed (hard) mode," and "four ways of extending the sound."  A phonology section will have to be added by someone who knows how to use IPA and describe sounds without vague references to English (which is irrelevant to Rohingya).  I have basically left the grammar section alone, although it is very badly done, because 1) some information can be gotten from it and 2) I ran out of steam.  But again, someone will have to revise it using accepted terminology and methods.  (For instance, talk of "round-fatty" and "flat-thin" objects is not very helpful without a thorough discussion of noun classification.) Languagehat (talk) 13:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Rewrite

message: This article still needs a lot of work.  The relationship of this language/dialect to Chittagonian must be established, since it seems they are mutually intelligible.  Ethnologue has recently decided to classify cit and rhg as 2 different languages; however, we need scholarly sources on this.  Also, there has to be IPA or a form of Indic transliteration in this article, preferably the former; the current orthography used cannot possibly be standard or even widespread as Rohingya is mostly a spoken language.  I'm not even sure this orthography needs elaboration.  The grammar section should also be condensed.   I'm planning on working on this rewrite, but if anyone has access to reliable sources then I'd love their help. Mar de Sin Speak up! 04:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There simply doesn't seem to be published material on this; I've checked major university libraries and WorldCat.  However, I'm aware that Rohingya is really similar to Chittagongian (which has more published material but still not enough).  If you still have the results of your class, you could publish it onto a website.  As long as they are scholarly and use IPA, we could make use of it instead of what is currently on here.  Otherwise, I'm probably going to rewrite this as a much shorter article. Bʌsʌwʌʟʌ Speak up! 23:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

message: My browser warns that the website rohingyalanguagefoundation.com (used for references 4 and 9) contains malware and should be avoided. The links should probably be removed and replaced with other sources (offline ones, if necessary). —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:49, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I was wondering whether there is any English translation available. The resources on this language are undoubtedly not very large, due to the relatively small number of speakers and Burmese government repression. Omniglot has no sample Rohingya text (as of now). --188.167.141.68 (talk) 13:11, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
