1# Review Letters:

(1) Rohingyalish has 28 Letters:
A -> 
Ç
D -> N

Ñ
O -> Z

(2) Latin letters are: Ç and Ñ
(3) Replacement letter: Sh is replaced with C
(Sh is no more used)


2# Review Vowels:


CÓÑÇO
 (cóñço) = Five most important characters to know in Rohingyalish

C,  Ó,  Ñ,  Ç,  O  including (‘) which is read as gutá in Rohingya

= sh

= au

Ñ (nasal sound)

Ç (tongue rolling R)

 Gutá ( )=emphasize – read as (gutá)

3# Review Vowels:

(1) Six Straight Vowels (two types):

a, e, i, o, u, ou

á, é, í, ó, ú, óu

(2) Four Circular Vowels (four types):

ai, ei, oi, ui

ái, éi, ói, úi

(3) Five Long Vowels ( three types)

aa, ee, ii, oo, uu

aá, eé, ií, oó, uú

áa, ée, íi, óo, úu

4# Double Letters:

(1) C = ش            Ch = چ
(2) D =             Dh =
(3) K = ك            Kh = ح
(4) T =            Th =               Ts =
(5) Ñg = ﻧﺞ         Ñy = ني

5#The history of “O”:

At the beginning our vowels were set as follows:
a,  e,  i,  au,  u,  o

Therefore the word Boro was written as

B au r au  (Baurau)

By doing so we realized that every word becomes very long because due to two letters “au“. Moreover, we use “au” in almost every word. The use of “au” vowel is more than all other vowels combined. Therefore, it not only makes the word longer but also it becomes difficult to read the word when we have multiple ” au ” in the same word.

So we replaced “au” with “w”  making it one letter vowel instead of two letters. So the word “Boro”  was written as “Bwrw“. But again we need “w” gutá to emphasize and “w” gutá was not easily available.

So we Revised the vowel set as below:

a,  e,  i,  o,  u,  ou

So our “au” finally becomes “o” and we set “ou” as in the word in “Lou, Bou, Zou” meaning “blood , bridge, soft food “.

6# Rohingya vowels have only one sound:

(i) In English words, the “a” sound also keeps changing such as in words as, all, ask“. Rohingyalish uses the sound in the word “ask“.

(ii) Like wise, the ” e ” sound also keeps changing such as in the words “eye, elephant, easy” but Rohingyalish uses the one in “elephant“.

(iii) Similarly, the “i“sound also do the same such as in the words “bi, bit, fine” etc. but Rohingyalish uses the one in “bit“.

(iv) In English words “Women, do, go, for, mother” the sound of “o” keeps changing in each word. Therefore, each word needs to be memorized for each different sound.

However, Rohingyalish will only use one single sound for “o” to make the language simplified and easy. Rohingyalish uses the sound that is used in the word ” for “.

(v) Similarly, the “u ” sound also keeps changing such as in words “but, put, use ” but Rohingyalish uses only the one in the word “put”

7# The vowel ” Ou ” is used as follow:

Bou=bride
Lou=blood
Zou=liquid rice
Koul=saying
Boul= bowl
Toul=balance, right mixture
Mou=uncle
Gour=put attention

8# Difference between “Bo” and “Bou”

The vowel ” o ” is used extensively and it gives similar to “au” or “aw” sound extending the sound horizontally.

In the other hand, “Bou” give between horizontal and vertical sound like the word “goal” in English.

9# Excercise: Read the following.

(a) Sound variation for vowel sounds and Rohingyalish uses the one highlighted below. as all ask women do go for mother but put use eye elephant easy bit bit iron

(b) All six vowels:

a, e, i, o, u, ou

(c) Angular sound using “ou” vowel.

Bou Lou Zou Koul Toul Gour Mou Mou
