This is really fade history. I hope you get much money from them.Please visit british libery to know about Chittagongrian Kular.

No do not go to British Librery, the internet is better. Try the UNHCR site and other refugee sits and there you will see what serious research shows about the Rohingya's. Your usage "Chittagong Kular" exposes your xenophobia attitude.

NeWin's government recognised the Rohingya's as Burmese ethnics.

Use the internet do not bother with The British Librery.

Non-sense comments by Ranninsoe.

Human History started in Arakan by Hindus of India as Hindus left India by the advent of Buddhism forcing Hinduism to be extinguished.

Islam reached Arakan from Arab traders as early as 7th century while Magh (now known as Rakhine) reached Arakan from Magada of India. So who reached Arakan first Magh or Arabs is a history debate.

Sidqum please mail me privetly as there are some questions I would like to ask you.

@sidqm I am impressed about your knowledge.

[citizenOfNowhere777]

@EthnicGroupSupporter You nailed it by pointing out the xenophobia which keeps them in 19th century while the world moves forward into 21st century.

Rohingya people still today refers the Arakan Acient City as "Ruáng" or "Ruáng Shóor" where Shóor means city. There was a famous saying among Rohingyas, "Ruáng ór Tiañ Boruna Fán" meaning "The money of Roang Land is so big as the size of a dish" denoting it that it was a rich land.

Some says the word Rohingya was initiated from the word "Rahám" when Arabs asked for help saying "Rahám...Rahám" (which means mercy in Arabic Language) when their sail Vessels destroyed in Rambri Island. They were given shelter and hence the start of Muslims in Arakan.

No language either it be Rohingya, Rakhine, Burmese, English, Arabic or Urdu can translate the word "Rohingya" into a meaning "Homeless" even not a bit closer.

Then, what is wrong to let Arakanese Muslims to be named after the same place name "Roang/Roango/Roshang". Rohingya seems to be composed of two words "Rohang" and "Ya". Here "Ya" means the inhabitant of the land. Though historically recorded as Rohingya we always call ourself as Roangya (i.e. Roang-gya) without "h" sound within the word. Some says "Rwa-háung-gá-kya" which means in Rakhine language "Tiger of the old Village/Kingdom" referring a place in Arakan Kingdom.
